September 19, 2023 Dear JOMARIE FLORES, I refer to my letter of Sep 11, 2023 09:05:16 AM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Data and Demographics of National Poison Control and Toxicology in the Philippines. The National Poison Management and Control Center (NPMCC) of the UP Philippine General Hospital has data pertaining to poisoning cases directly referred to the Center via hotline or as in-patient referral. However, the NPMCC does not have the consolidated data from the different poison centers across the country. Should you wish to limit your data collection on the NPMCC's data, please provide the specifics of your request, such as the period covered, age distribution, pharmaceuticals vs non-pharmaceuticals, etc. You may use the reply function on the eFOI portal at https://www.foi.gov.ph/requests/aglzfmVmb2ktcGhyHQsSB0NvbnRlbnQiEFVQTS04NjkzNjA5OTQyMjUM, for request with ticket number #UPM-869360994225, to respond. During the period of us awaiting your reply, your request will be put on hold. If we do not receive a reply on or before Dec 12, 2023 05:17:06 AM, your request will be closed. We hope to hear from you at the soonest possible time. Thank you. Respectfully, FOI Decision Maker, Vice-Chancellor for Administration FOI Officer
