Hi,

I applied and was granted DSWD Solo Parent status in 2017 and my status remains as solo parent. However, I am not receiving any of benefit and apparently I am not on DSWD database. I still have my Solo Parent ID  issued by Makati DSWD. I am unable to do anything about this since the lockdown.

Dear Mr. Romuald Paredes,

Thank you for your request dated 16 April 2020 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You requested confirmation of being listed on the DSWD Database for Solo Parents.

Response to your request

Unfortunately, the information you are requesting falls under the list of Exceptions to the Right of Access to Information enumerated in the Inventory of Exceptions to Right to Access to Information issued by the Office of the President (attached as ANNEX B to the FOI Manual of the DSWD). Specifically, it falls under:

a.	Information of a personal nature where disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, personal information or records, including sensitive personal information, birth records, school records, or medical or health records;

However, you can probably verify if you are listed on the DSWD Database of Solo by e-mailing DSWD Field Office NCR at their e-mail address at [email protected] subject to submission of documents to verify your identity.
