July 26, 2021 Dear Mr. Sherwene Sabondo, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jul 25, 2021 08:25:21 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for an update of your DOLE-AKAP Application. Mr. Sabondo you submitted your application for online DOLE-AKAP on July 24, 2021, a Saturday. Hence, no work on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. You brought your concern to the FOI at 09:15 PM on Jul 24, 2021 and fortunately our OWWA-FOI Officers at the Central Office are updating the query-list. Simple logic and basic scientific and human interventions there is no records available at the OFW Verification System at that time. Today, July 26, 2021, a working day, the OWWA Verification System shows an entry that your application was evaluated by OWWA Region 8 as PENDING because of lack of documents of: Proof of Loss of Employment, Picture and Proof of Arrival. Follow the procedures and be truthful in the submission of documents to facilitate immediate evaluation. 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, RODRIGO F. PASCUA, JR. OWWA Deputy Administrator FOI Decision Maker
