DPWH sits on P165-B unspent funds in 2024
The Freeman
|August 22, 2025
Despite having one of the largest budgets of 2024, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has P165 billion in unobligated funds, according to data from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).
-
In its agency performance review, the DBM assessed agencies' ability to manage and execute their budget, listing their obligated and unobligated funds.
Obligated funds means that the budget is already legally bound to a project through contracts or purchase orders. Meanwhile, unobligated funds are capital that was released to the agency but remained unused.
In 2024, the DPWH had P1.4 trillion available to them, which came from its regular appropriations, unprogrammed funds, transferred funds from other agencies, as well as leftover funding from 2023.
The agency was still able to obligate P1.2 trillion in 2024, so its unobligated funds rate is relatively low at 11.8%.
