Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

January 4, 2021 Dear Ms. Jocylin Cariño, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Apr 22, 2020 04:26:42 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for an update of your DOLE-AKAP Application. Foremost, we apologize for the lateness of our response. Our system has difficulty in validating application with characters such as the “ñ” in your name. Based on the OWWA Verification System there is no record on the online submission for DOLE-AKAP. Please note that the DOLE-AKAP is only for the OFWs repatriated back to the Philippines because they lost their employment on the account of COVID-19. 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
