C.AGACIA March 12, 2022, 8:51 p.m.

Dear mam/sir, I am Christopher Agacia, i was repatriated between august 19,2014 to august 21, 2014 due to gulf war in Libya, i did not get police clearance due to safety issues before we left Libya. I want to request any copy of certificate of repatriation or proof of repatriation as my supporting document to prove my statement that I was repatriated while i am applying my visa abroad. It is impossible to me now to get police clearance in libya because I am already here in the Philippines and I do not have any relatives or friends staying in Libya to ask for help. I hope you read my message.

March 14, 2022 Dear Mr. Christopher Agacia, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Mar 12, 2022 08:51:40 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for assistance to get a police clearance from the Libya government. Mr. Agacia we read your requests. In fact on March 9, 2022 you request the same thing and OWWA-FOI responded to you on 11 March 2022. To reiterate our response " Based on the OWWA Verification system you were employed at the Jeddah Clinic Hospital at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in March 2017 and your OWWA Membership status has expired in March 2019. With respect to your request to get a police clearance from Libya, it is suggested that you coordinate with the Department of Foreign Affairs for your concern. The DFA keeps records of the Filipinos overseas and would be in a better position to give you options. This is further supported that we maintain a Philippine Embassy at Libya. You can also contact your Recruitment Agency that processed your papers for Libya. They have records of your employment and would have kept records of the termination of work visa and clearances from the Libyan government" Moreover, please be truthful and exact in stating the purpose for requesting a police clearance. In your request to OWWA the purpose you stated is to secure visa for travel. That is the reason why we are suggesting that you seek the assistance of the DFA. 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
