Dear Pamela Mayo,
I refer to my letter of Jun 29, 2023 08:49:06 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Data of street beggars/ badjao begging..
While we aim to provide information whenever possible, in this instance, we find your request incomplete. Thus, your FOI request did not meet the requisites of a valid FOI request.
Section 9 of Executive Order No. 2 states that:
SECTION 9. Procedure. The following procedure shall govern the filing and processing of requests for access to information:

The request shall state the name and contact information of the requesting party, provide valid proof of his identification or authorization, and reasonably describe the information requested, and the reason for, or purpose of, the request for information: Provided, that no request shall be denied or refused acceptance unless the reason for the request is contrary to law, existing rules and regulations or it is one of the exceptions contained in the inventory or updated inventory of exception as hereinabove provided. X X X
