Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

October 10, 2021 Dear Mr. Sonny Sosa, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Oct 05, 2021 05:10:25 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for an update of the 2nd tranche of DOLE TABANG benefits. OWWA Verification system show that you applied on January 7, 2021 and the DOLE-TABANG education grant was released on 03/15/2021 by DOLE Region III. As of date, there is no instruction from DOLE and CHED if there is another tranche of DOLE-TABANG releases. Mr. Sonny Obdin Sosa may we clarify to you the Freedom of Information (FOI) Portal which is a project of the Presidential Communications Operations Office under the Office of the President. Its major function is to allow any Filipino citizen to request information about the data, programs, services and benefits or anything about the transactions and operation of specific government offices, provided, it shall not put into jeopardy the privacy of individuals and matters of national security. If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac at email: [email protected]. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response and should be made within FIFTEEN (15) calendar days from the date you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within THIRTY (30) calendar days from the date we received your review request. However, if you are still not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011). Thank you. Respectfully, ATTY. EDELYN D. CLAUSTRO Director IV- Administrative and Financial Management Office OWWA FOI Decision Maker
