Duterte's district received P51B in infra projects

Davao City Representative Paolo Duterte's district received approximately P51 billion in infrastructure projects during the last three years of his father, former President Rodrigo Duterte's, term.

Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Undersecretary Maria Catalina Cabral confirmed the report during a House infrastructure committee hearing.

Manila Rep. Joel Chua initially questioned Cabral about a 'Politiko' report detailing the allocation of P51 billion to Duterte's district in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Cabral initially stated she needed to verify the specific figures, but later confirmed the budgets based on DPWH's National Expenditure Program (NEP) and the General Appropriations Act (GAA).
