I have no participation whatsoever in the allocation of funds or the funding of projects as contained in the President’s National Expenditure Program (NEP).

I have not requested nor initiated any amount attributed to my district because the NEP is supposed to be solely prepared by the Executive Department, more particularly the Department of Budget and Management, unless there are intruders, of whom I am presently unaware of, whose intervention or interference has been accommodated.

Any amounts reflected in the NEP for my district are part of the concerned department’s or agency’s regular programs and/or at the initiative of parties without my knowledge and consent.
