Thank you for your request dated Aug 06, 2022 11:54:04 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for an update of your DOLE-AKAP Application and a change of name of claimant. Mr. Senas always follow procedures particularly in using the government's eFOI Portal. We don not need your selfie picture. What is required is a snapshot of a government issued ID e.g., passport, driver's license, SSS, etc. Tandaan po that government needs to validate the authenticity of the person requesting for information. Be correctly informed that DOLE-AKAP is a program by the Department of Labor and Employment and not OWWA. Therefore, verification on the status of your application and other concern on AKAP must be directed to DOLE Regional Office 12 or at the DOLE Provincial Office nearest your residence.
