Thank you for your request dated Mar 29, 2022 04:25:54 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for an update of your DOLE-AKAP Application. OWWA Verification System shows that you applied online on February 2, 2021 and was processed and financial assistance was ready for release in 03/15/2021. Ask the DOLE Regional Office VII for your tracking number. You have to visit DOLE Regional Office VII immediately since there is a period to claim the benefit from the designated remittance center. You have to give a good explanation with supporting documents (example: medical certificate, no internet connectivity in your area) why it took you over a year to claim your benefit. 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
