Mr. Lester John Balita
University of the Philippines Los Baños

Dear Mr. Balita,

This refers to your request dated 28 October 2019 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

You asked for the following information about the UPLB Math Building :

1. Architect's name
2. Date it was constructed and finished
3. Materials used
4. Dimensions of the Building

The purpose for your request is for Research for ARTS 1 Requirement (Digital Art Zine).

Since you did not provide Forms E and F, with the latter needing the signature of your professor as the person administering the oath, both being required under the UP FOI Manual, we regret that in the meantime we are constrained to DENY your request.

Article III Section 7 of the 1987 Constitution which is the basis for the requirement under the UP FOI Manual states:

“The right of the people to information on matters of public concern shall be recognized. Access to official records, and to the documents, and papers pertaining to official acts, transactions, or decisions, as well as to government research data used as basis for policy development, shall be afforded the citizen, subject to such limitations as many be provided by law.”

Refer also to the FAQ at https://www.foi.gov.ph/help

Once you are able to submit these documentary requirements, you may re-file your request within a period of sixty (60) days from receipt of this letter.

Thank you

Respectfully,


FOI Receiving Officer
