Special assistant to the president says he has no authority over DPWH budget
The Office of the Special Assistant to the President (OSAP) denies having line-item authority over the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) budget listings.
Special Assistant to the President Antonio Lagdameo Jr. stated that his office does not identify or implement infrastructure projects.
Lagdameo clarified that online posts linking a purported "OP (ES/SAP)" tag in DPWH documents to the OSAP are misleading.
He emphasized that the OSAP is not an implementing agency and lacks the mandate to plan, select, or prioritize DPWH projects.
The OSAP issued the statement to counter recurring attempts to falsely suggest influence or involvement in DPWH budget matters.
