₱1.265B DPWH Allocation Puts Abante District at the Top in Manila

A graphic circulating online shows that the district represented by Benny Abante received ₱1.265 billion in DPWH allocable funds, reportedly the largest allocation among Manila districts, based on publicly shared budget figures dated December 25, 2025.

The image, shared by multiple users on social media, has triggered intense public reaction—particularly amid renewed scrutiny of DPWH allocations and the broader debate on budget insertions, transparency, and accountability in infrastructure spending.

While the allocation figure itself is being cited in graphics and online posts, no court ruling or official finding has established criminal wrongdoing related to the funds shown. However, the amount has become a focal point for public criticism, especially as citizens continue to demand clearer explanations on how allocable funds are distributed across districts.

The post accompanying the image contains strong personal accusations and inflammatory language, reflecting public anger rather than verified conclusions. These statements represent opinions of the individual user and are not judicial or investigative findings.

What the image underscores is a growing demand for:

• clearer breakdowns of DPWH allocable funds,

• public disclosure of project lists per district,

• and stronger institutional transparency to prevent misuse or misinterpretation.

As public discourse intensifies, the central issue remains unchanged: how public funds are allocated, monitored, and explained to the Filipino people—especially when figures reach the billion-peso level.
