Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

July 4, 2022 Dear Ms. Lalaine Visda, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jul 01, 2022 10:10:24 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. Ms. Visda kailan po kayo nagka-COVID 19? Ayon sa datos and employment contract na valid for 12 months patungo sa Japan ay processed noong May 16, 2022 . Kaya malaki ang posibilidad na kayo ay hindi pa OFW noong kayo ay nagkasakit ng COVID-19. Datos din ng POEA noong May 31, 2017 ay nagpapatunay na natapos mo ang employment contract ng May 2018 dahil 12 months din lang ang employment duration na nakasaad sa contract. Kung kayo naman ay naga-COVID 19 upon arrival in June 2022 sa Japan, your employer will provide for your medical assistance and other benefits. Nais lang namin maging tapat ang mga OFW sa information na binibigay ninyo sa FOI. DAPAT tandaan na ang gobyerno ay may capability mag validate ng mga datos na binibigay ninyo. Tungkol sa pangangailangan ng magulang mong medical, isangguni nila sa LGU para sa agadang aksyon. 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 the OWWA- FOI Decision Makers 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.

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
