Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

January 24, 2022 Dear Ms. Christie Piano, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jan 24, 2022 12:29:11 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for updates on ALAGANG KABAYAN application in 20 January 2022. Foremost, we at OWWA Central Office wish you are fine and have recovered from COVID-19. The project you are seeking assistance for is the "OWWA Alagang Kabayan" which is a financial assistance equivalent to PhP10,000.00 for OFWs afflicted by the COVID-19 while at the country of work/jobsite. Requirements are submitted to POLO-OWWA (in your case POLO-AlKhobar) and the procedure is that they will inform the OFW applicant of the financial benefit, once qualified. Please take note that status of OWWA Membership is a requirement, and in our membership database your membership expired in September 2020. Always update your membership to enjoy full benefits of OWWA programs. 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
