Leviste releases 'Cabral files' on 2025 DPWH budget
Batangas Rep. Leandro Leviste has released documents he claims were given by late DPWH Undersecretary Maria Catalina Cabral, detailing the 2025 infrastructure project allocations per district.
The documents show a summary of "allocables" or the yearly allocation for district congressmen, totaling P401.3 billion.
Leviste clarified that the lawmakers named in the list are not the proponents of these projects but rather representatives of the districts where the projects are located.
He explained that while the total "allocable" for district representatives is P401.3 billion, the overall 2025 DPWH budget surged to over P1 trillion due to "Outside Allocable" funds from other proponents.
