00:00Senator Win Gatchalian flags 271 billion pesos worth of projects in the Department of Public Works and Highways' revised 2026 budget proposal.
00:10During the Senate budget deliberations, Gatchalian points out the following red flags.
00:30From the 2025 General Appropriations Act to the 2026 National Expenditure Program.
00:35Ang unang instinct ko ho, i-defer mo na yung budget ng DPWH para malinis ho ito eh.
00:41Dahil kung hindi ho natin malilinis ito, mauulit lang ho ito.
00:44Kung pareho yung title, pwedeng maging ghost project yun.
00:48DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon says that projects with no station numbers need to be verified.
00:54He says he supports scrapping the duplicate and multi-phase projects.
00:57As for projects that reappeared from the 2025 Ga'a to the 2026 NEP,
01:02Dizon says these should be validated as some of these projects are not yet completed.
01:07The DPWH has been under scrutiny for its flood control projects.
01:11In response, Dizon has already ordered the removal of more than 250 billion pesos in projects.
01:16This brings the agency's proposed budget down to 625.8 billion pesos,
01:21which was approved by the House of Representatives.
