July 13, 2020 Dear Gerlene Bragado, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Apr 10, 2020 10:05:52 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked about the status of your company's CAMP application. We regret to inform you that the DOLE-RO I was unable to process and accommodate your application for lack of material time and funding in view of the abrupt suspension of acceptance of CAMP applications starting April 15, 2020. Be informed, however, that the list of establishments - HMI Training School, Inc. included - which were not accommodated under the said program was endorsed to the Department of Finance's Small Business Wage Subsidy (SBWS) program. It is our fervent hope that your company's application has been one of those successfully granted under the SBWS program. 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 HON. SILVESTRE H. BELLO III, Labor Secretary/[email protected]. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response, and should be made within 15 calendar days from the date when you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within 30 calendar days from the date when we receive your review request. 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. Sincerely, Arly S. Valdez FOI Receiving Officer
