September 4, 2021 Dear Mr. ENRIQUE JR PACETE, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Sep 03, 2021 10:46:00 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for an update of your DOLE-AKAP Application. Ang DOLE-AKAP information at mga requirements ay nasa mga websites ng DOLE at OWWA para sa tamang kaalaman. Ang programa ng DOLE-AKAP ay specific sa mga OFWs na may active employment contract but were pre-terminated by their employers or principals due to the pandemic. Hindi po eto para sa mga marino na WALANG Active Employment Contract. Mr. Pacete pakitandaan lang po na ang Freedom of information (FOI) which is a project of the Presidential Communication Operation Office under the Office of the President. Its major function is to give the public with information about the data, programs, services and benefits of specific government offices. What you are requesting is an information of your DOLE-AKAP application which is a personal concern and therefore not allowed to be shared to the public. Hence, we suggest you address your request to the DOLE Regional or Provincial Director for the status of your benefits. 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 to Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac at email: admin.cacdac@owwa.gov.ph. 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. We will complete the review and tell you the result within THIRTY (30) calendar days from the date we received your review request. 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. E.D. CLAUSTRO OWWA Director IV FOI Decision Maker .
