公共工程与公路部部长文斯·迪松（Vince Dizon）于6月10日发布了第74号部门令，授权区域主任和地区工程师批准基础设施资金的拨付，尽管独立基础设施委员会曾建议削弱这些权力。
该命令撤销了2021年的一项指令，将拨款转移通知书的无限审批权下放给副部长里奥·埃斯皮里图（Rio Espiritu）。它还为支出凭证设定了具体上限，例如区域主任在承包商付款方面最高可审批3亿比索。
此前，独立基础设施委员会在调查防洪项目后，曾建议将区域和地区办公室的审批额度减半。退休法官安德烈斯·雷耶斯（Andres Reyes Jr.）在2025年10月的一封信中指出，过高的门槛增加了腐败风险。
迪松此前曾对参议院相关听证会上提出的担忧表示赞同。在另一项进展中，该部门承诺与市长莱尼·罗布雷多（Leni Robredo）合作，共同支持那牙市的基础设施升级。

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has approved a service contracting program for public utility vehicles, a P10-per-liter fuel subsidy starting April 15, and the release of P8 billion in assistance for over 42,000 barangays nationwide to cushion impacts from the Middle East crisis such as higher fuel prices, a weaker peso, and threats to livelihoods, Malacañang said Thursday. PUV drivers will receive additional income of P40 to P100 per kilometer, while commuters get at least 20% fare discounts on routes linked to trains and major bus lines.
