Dear eFOI user,
Mabuhay!
Thank you for utilizing the eFOI portal (www.foi.gov.ph) and exercising your right to information under Executive Order No. 2, s. 2016 on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
We wish to inform you that based on the Freedom of Information - Standard Operating Procedure (FOI-SOP) in reference to the FOI Agency Manual, the following are standard requirements in the processing of your FOI requests:
 FOI Request (Form attached to the email) must be in writing and duly signed by the requester;
 Must state the name and contact information of the requesting party;
 Must reasonably describe the information requested, and the reason for or purpose of the request for information; and
A copy of a duly recognized government-issued Identification Card with a photo.
Upon an initial assessment of the submitted request form, it does not comply with requirements number 2 and 4. Therefore, it cannot be considered a valid FOI request.
Furthermore, it has been determined that the request pertains to the exercise of your official duties and responsibilities as a government employee. As such, it does not fall under the scope of an FOI request.
To assist you in obtaining the necessary information from the Department, you may submit an official request letter for the required data to DSWD Field Office VI, specifically to the FO VI 4Ps-Regional Program Management Office, through the following contact information:: https://fo6.dswd.gov.ph/contact-us/
For additional support, we encourage you to consult the FAQ section of the eFOI site: https://www.foi.gov.ph/help.
