Dear eFOI user,

About my response dated Feb. 17, 2025, regarding your request made under Executive Order No. 2, s. 2016 on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch; specifically your request on the Dengue Case.

We would like to inform you that we are not able to provide any access to the dataset since it will breach the data confidentiality and may require data sharing agreements. But what we can provide is aggregates up until municipality levels only since barangay levels are too granular and might also imply confidentiality concerns.

Our Epidemiology Bureau team will wait for your response before initiating the processing of the data since the period coverage for the requested data is extensive.

Kindly respond if you agree that we could provide municipal-level data instead.

We kindly request that you provide us with a prompt response.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

FOI Officer

Department of Health
