May 14, 2021 Dear Mr. Clint Reginald Albesoe, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated May 13, 2021 01:56:30 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for financial assistance for OFWs infected with COVID-19 at the workplace. On May 12, 2021 we forwarded this response: "As of date, OWWA Verification System shows that there is no online application to DOLE-AKAP for a Clint Reginald Marino Albesoe. Make sure that your online application is submitted. If you are in DUBAI, UAE your are not qualified to the DOLE-AKAP since this program is intended for repatriated OFWs whose reason for the loss of employment is on account of COVID-19. OWWA has the "Alagang Kabayan Laban sa COVID-19 (Alabang Kabayan Project)" for OWWA-Member OFWs at the job site." Contact the Philippine Overseas Labor Office at the Dubai Consular Office in Dubai if you are qualified to the project." We hope you followed the advise since financial assistance would be coming from OWWA-POLO Dubai.
