Thank you for your request dated Nov 28, 2020 01:29:08 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for an update of your DOLE-AKAP Application. OWWA records show that you applied online on SANA PO INTINDIHIN Ninyo na kayo po ay hindi qualified sa DOLE-AKAP sa kadahilanan na kayo ay UNDOCUMENTED Worker (or Illegally recruited). Ayon po sa documento na galing sa POLO kayo ay pinatuloy sa MWOFRC noong December 2, 2019 habang inaayos ang iyong exit documnts at mga violations sa immigration. Kayo po ay napauwi ng ating pamahalaan noong Pebrero 17, 2020 as a repatriated undocumented worker at ang dahilan ng pag-uwi ay hindi ukol sa COVID-19. BAGAMAT, hindi kayo qualified sa DOLE-AKAP tinutulungan po kayo ng OWWA-NCR na makakuha ng financial assistance sa ibang programa na angkop sa inyong kalagayan. Maging mahinahon dahil iniintindi kayo ng OWWA-NCR. Sa kasalukuyan and inyong tulong financial ay for review/and consideration for APPROVAL. Kung may mga kaqilangan, dumerecho kayo at maki-ugnayan sa OWWA-NCR sa email address na: [email protected]. Ang kanilang Director ay si ATTY. Edelyn Claustro. We do apologize for the delays in the processing of your DOLE-AKAP Application due to the large volume of applicants and poor internet connections. Moreover, we have to maintain procedure controls for fund releases coming from government to the partner Money Transfers for disbursement of the special financial assistance for the OFWs repatriated due to the COVID 19 pandemic. 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].
