Thank you for your request dated Jul 03, 2023 03:34:11 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for the status of your DOLE-AKAP financial assistance. Mr. Javier be properly informed that there is a female who is using the eFOI portal to follow-up your DOLE-AKAP financial assistance. She posted her inquiry on the same day and three (3) minutes prior to your personal inquiry. As per the Data Privacy Act, providing or asking personal information without the written consent of the person involved is punishable by imprisonment and fine. So be very careful. Be correctly informed that the DOLE-AKAP is a program of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). Hence, it is but proper to address your queries with the agency and not with the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA).
