LIVE: House holds briefing with DPWH on the preparation of the construction materials price data

Lawmakers questioned officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) regarding the agency's Construction Materials Price Data (CMPD) during a committee meeting at the House of Representatives. Several legislators raised concerns that the DPWH's approved price list for construction materials, such as cement and gravel, is significantly lower than actual market prices. They argued that this discrepancy discourages contractors, leads to project delays, and results in "substandard" infrastructure. The committee also discussed the delays in bidding for 2026 projects, the unfilled positions for District Engineers, outstanding payments to contractors, and the department's master plan for flood control projects nationwide.
