A New Level of Public Transparency

The new DPWH Transparency Portal marks a significant step toward accountability in infrastructure spending. For the first time, the public can independently verify contract amounts, track project locations, and identify the companies behind multimillion-peso government projects.

This ongoing series aims to help citizens understand where public funds go, who benefits, and how infrastructure spending affects communities across Negros Island.

We will continue profiling major contractors in Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental, examining publicly available data on ownership, headquarters, performance history, and awarded contracts.

Transparency builds accountability. Accountability builds trust.
