Thank you for your request dated Sep 26, 2020 11:23:54 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. Your Request You asked for Database of women that lost their jobs due to COVID-19. Response to Request Your FOI request is approved. I enclose a copy of some of the information you requested. Please note that we are only able to provide some of the information you have requested for. It may be noted that the attached information is based on the administrative data of DOLE extracted from the PESO Employment Information System (PEIS). Furthermore, it does not reflect the population of unemployed in the country and should not be compared with the estimates of the Labor Force Survey. In compliance with Data Privacy Act, the Department only provided the summary report instead of actual database. Thank you.
