Equal amounts and statistical associations are screening leads, not findings of wrongdoing.
Potential removals · domestic NEP-only line items
1,002 NEP lines have no selected or plausible HGAB counterpart, carrying ₱64.417B in NEP allocations. The reverse title screen holds out another 252 lines with compatible counterparts scoring at least 83%. These are candidates for line-item removal, pending scope verification. A lower allocation on a retained project is not a removal. Renaming and segmentation may conceal a counterpart; absence from this matching result does not certify deletion.
| Status | NEP project | NEP allocation | Implementing office | NEP source |
|---|
Allocation adjustments · retained domestic projects
These selected NEP/HGAB counterparts remain in both stages with different allocations. Positive changes are increases; negative changes are decreases. Nonexact title counterparts remain provisional. These lines are excluded from the insertion and removal shortlists.
| Match basis | NEP project | HGAB project | NEP allocation | HGAB allocation | Adjustment | Office / sources |

Read this as a review list, not a finding of wrongdoing. Amounts are shown in pesos. NEP values and FY2025 GAA values are stored in thousands of pesos and multiplied by 1,000; the FY2026 DPWH enrolled-copy GAA already stores pesos. Project descriptions do not include quantities, dimensions, engineering specifications, or bills of quantities.
Projects by region
Project counts by region for the selected fiscal year. This is not adjusted for population or need.
Rainwater Collector System (RCS)
RCS rainfall patterns and the rainfall-weighted unit scenario now have a separate page, using 1981–2025 province rainfall and local province boundaries.
INSPIRE Building: single-project comparison
Kept separate from program-category totals. This compares individual NEP entries while excluding records whose category or title mentions roads or bridges.
Site accessibility question
The listed INSPIRE site is in Laoag, at the northern end of Luzon. If the facility is meant to serve users from across the country, test whether that location is accessible to its intended users. Batangas is a possible comparison site: the Philippine Ports Authority describes Batangas Port as providing access to the Visayas region. Compare travel time, expected users, transport links, land and operating costs before concluding which site would serve the purpose better. PPA on Batangas Port access.

Other priority programs by district
District rankings for multi-purpose buildings, access roads and bridges, and flood control. INSPIRE is shown separately above as an individual project; adjacent water supply categories remain in the name-shift watchlist.
District allocations
How to read the pattern: compare office totals and project counts, then verify project titles and scope.
| Year | Rank | District Engineering Office | Region | Projects | Allocation | Share of program | Most common amount | Count at common amount | Largest project | Representative(s) for largest project location |
|---|
Exact ₱5M roads/bridges and flood-control allocations
District offices with one or more project entries budgeted at exactly ₱5,000,000 in the access roads/bridges category or flood mitigation categories. Counts are entries, not distinct projects verified against source documents.
Methods: hypergeometric overlap test and region-stratified randomization test. The hypergeometric test treats the 199 district offices as equally likely to receive each program’s ₱5M entry, fixes the observed counts (96 road/bridge offices and 45 flood offices), and calculates how often random independent placement would produce 35 or more shared offices. The region-stratified test is a second check: it keeps the observed road/bridge offices fixed and repeatedly reassigns the 45 flood-office flags among offices in the same region, preserving each region’s flood count. Its p-value is the share of 100,000 reshuffles with overlap at least as large as observed. Small p-values mean this degree of overlap is rare under these chance models. They do not prove deliberate allocation or a “consolation” motive. The analysis is exploratory because ₱5M and these programs were selected after noticing the pattern; the models also do not adjust for project need, workload, or project mix.
District offices with entries in both programs
| Year | District Engineering Office | Region | Road/bridge entries | Flood entries | Combined listed amount | Representative(s), if province has one seat |

Water-sector name-shift watchlist
Includes projects under the shared PAP2 water-sector umbrella plus district project titles containing rainwater, water collector, catchment, cistern, water supply, water system, or water storage terms outside that umbrella. Keyword matches are review candidates, not confirmed reclassifications.
| Year | Match basis | District Engineering Office | Subcategory | Project title | Representative(s) for project location | Allocation |

District Engineering Office allocation ranking
Ranked by the selected measure in the selected year. In this single-year dataset, allocation and share have the same order because each share uses the same annual total. The concentration figures do not adjust for district population, project needs, scope, or cost.
| Year | Current sort rank | District Engineering Office | Region | Projects | Total allocation* | Share of district total | Largest project | Largest project share | Representative(s) for largest project location |

Repeated amounts across offices
Groups require at least three offices within the same category. RCS has its own rainfall and unit-allocation page; other category labels can still cover different project sizes.
| Year | Program / category | Source amount | Entries | Offices |

Largest statistical outliers
The current score compares each amount with the median for its broad category. A high score can reflect a genuinely larger project, not an inflated unit cost. Use this list to locate records that need scope checks.

Allocation clustering · exact ₱5M road/flood co-occurrence
Exact ₱5M road/flood co-occurrence · exploratory office test
| Statistic | Result |
|---|---|
| Offices with both exact ₱5M road and flood entries | 35 |
| Expected overlap under independent office assignment | 21.71 |
| One-sided hypergeometric p-value (recomputed) | 5.067e-06 |
| Odds ratio; approximate 95% interval | 5.34; 2.46–11.56 |
| Region-controlled permutation p-value (existing analysis) | 0.000319997 |
Null model: fix how many of the 199 offices have each type of ₱5M entry, then assign flood-office membership independently of road-office membership. The exact test rejects this simple independence model. The existing region-controlled test preserves regional membership counts.
The ₱5M threshold and project categories were selected after observing patterns. P-values and the Wald interval are exploratory, unadjusted for that selection or multiple comparisons. Office workload, project mix and common standard designs can explain co-occurrence. Next test: a pre-specified model controlling project count, work type, region and prior-year price distributions; request engineering quantities to assess price plausibility.
