Thank you for your request dated Mar 06, 2022 08:48:19 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for an update of your DOLE-AKAP Application. Ms. Gabriel ipinadadala po namin muli ang sagot noong March 2 sa inyong DOLE-AKAP status. Maari lang po Initindihan po ninyo ng husto ang aming payo. "Applied on June 30, 2021 and was Qualified to the DOLE-AKAP and application is with the DOLE Regional Office III for processing and release of financial assistance. We are so sorry about your experience with the DOLE Hotline and the office numbers they gave you. We would like to reiterate that OWWA's role in the DOLE-AKAP is to validate the completeness and correctness of your online submission. Only the Department of Labor and Employment is mandated to release the DOLE-AKAP financial assistance kaya nga po binigay namin ang DOLE Hotline 1348. Nasubikan na ba ninyo ang DOLE-FOI? Sa OWWA FOI kayo nagfolow-up dapat po sa DOLE-FOI mismo. Kung hindi po kayo masagot in 7 days ng DOLE-FOI, sa Hotline 8888 Complaint Center na po kayo magsangguni. " 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: [email protected].
