MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. directed the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to conduct a "sweeping review" of the DPWH proposed budget under the 2026 National Expenditure Program (NEP), Malacañang said Wednesday.
In a press conference, Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said this would ensure necessary changes and the proper use of people’s money.
