How this was made. House lines come from the native text of House Bill No. 10858, third reading, Vol. I-C (official record); every one of the 15,977 amounts was checked against its printed page. NEP lines come from the FY2027 National Expenditure Program, Vol. II-B as read by the open BetterGov DPWH NEP–HB analysis. Lines are matched by office and title. A line marked “added” had no matching title under the same office in the NEP; “uncertain” means a similar title appears in the DPWH Transparency NEP listing or our own NEP reading, or the scan reading of the NEP amount needs a check. Past contracts and indicators come from public DPWH records on this site.
