Our records show that you applied online on July 5, 2020 and is on cue for an evaluator from OWWA National Capital Region. Once an evaluator is available to validate the documents you submitted and your OFW data in the OWWA Membership System, he/she will notify you by email or phone for the next steps. We apologize for the delays in the processing of your application due to the poor internet connections and the large volume of applicants and evaluators who are accessing DOLE-OWWA AKAP system.

If you are 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, Rosalia Susana B. Catapang OIC- Deputy Administrator FOI Decision Maker
