Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

April 19, 2021 Dear Ms. Sherly Lopez, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Apr 18, 2021 10:54:28 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for an update of your DOLE-AKAP Application. OWWA Verification System shows that you applied online on April 7, 2021 and is on cue for a DOLE-AKAP evaluator from OWWA-NCR. Once an evaluator is available to validate the documents you submitted with the OFW Membership database, you will be notified by email or phone for the next steps. Ms. Lopez you have to be patient. DOLE-AKAP follows a procedure and OWWA evaluators have to be accurate when they evaluate your submitted documents against the OFW Data Bases available. If qualified, OWWA endorses your application to DOLE Regional Office for the processing and release of financial assistance. Be informed the fund for DOLE-AKAP comes from the savings of government which is appropriated to all Filipinos under the Bayanihan I and II. 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]. 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, RODRIGO F. PASCUA, JR. OWWA Deputy Administrator FOI Decision Maker
