DPWH infrastructure · Region V
Every DPWH infrastructure contract recorded in Bicol since 2016: 17,200 projects worth 530.26 billion pesos. This page is the shape of that money. Where the dataset contradicts itself, we print both numbers.

By province
Bar length is contract value, not project count. Albay and Camarines Sur between them hold 40 percent of the regional total.
The six province filters return 15,219 projects worth ₱372.21B. The region returns 17,200 worth ₱530.26B. The gap is 1,981 projects worth ₱158.06B, booked to the DPWH regional office rather than to any district engineering office. That is 29.8% of all infrastructure spending in Bicol that a resident cannot trace to their own province by filtering. We are not alleging anything by saying so. We are saying the geography is missing.
By category
Roads take the largest share by value. Flood control is second and carries the highest average contract size of any category in the region.
By year
Contract value by infrastructure year. 2024 is the peak at 101.05 billion pesos. 2026 is low because most of that year is still for procurement.

By district engineering office
DPWH books projects to a district engineering office, not to a city or municipality. This is the closest the dataset gets to a local view.
