Dear eFOI user,
Thank you for your request dated today, made under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
You have requested the number of FOI Users from 2016 to the present.
I am pleased to inform you that your FOI request has been approved. E Significant details about the El Hogar Filipino building may be accessed from a court decision, accessible at https://lawphil.net/judjuris/juri1927/jul1927/gr_l-26649_1927.html. The United States and its Territories 1870-1825: The Age of Imperialism website (https://quod.lib.umich.edu/p/philamer) is also rich with information and articles regarding the said structure. A supplementary article featuring a glimpse of the El Hogar Filipino Building is also available on the Arquitectura Manila website at http://arquitecturamanila.blogspot.com/2014/04/el-hogar-filipino-building.html. We also suggest exploring the Manila Nostalgia and Nostalgia with Old Manila Facebook groups for old photographs collected and preserved by various history, cultural, and heritage enthusiasts. However, please note that we do not have the architectural drawings of the structure since it is privately-owned. You may directly coordinate with its property owner.
