Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

March 21, 2022 Dear Ms. Crase diane Rosales, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Mar 21, 2022 10:36:47 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for financial assistance for OFWs infected by COVID 19. OWWA Verification System shows that you applied online on May 19, 2020 and received your DOLE-AKAP on 10/08/2020. With respect to educational program, we regret that you are no longer qualified to the OWWA- ODSP and EDSP since the major criteria is ACTIVE OWWA MEMBERSHIP STATUS of the OFW at the time of application. Your OWWA membership expired on July 2021. Inquire from the Local Government of Batangas for additional financial assistance for the education of your siblings particularly that there are State Universities and LGU Colleges that are free if the student qualifies to the academic requirement of the school. 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
