House Deputy Minority Leader Leila de Lima questioned the P50 million budget allocation for multi-purpose buildings, flagging it as a "red flag" during the DPWH's budget deliberations.
She pointed out the identical P50 million cost for these buildings across various regions and legislative districts.
De Lima argued this uniform funding mirrors the issue with flood control projects, which previously led to a significant budget cut for the DPWH.
Surigao del Sur Rep. Romeo Momo, the DPWH's budget sponsor, previously explained that uniform allocations are due to standardized designs for these buildings.
