De los Santos, You requested for information on the following: “(1) Quantity of Food Surplus or Food Waste by Food Service Industry (e.g. Restaurants, Fast-food Chains, Cafeterias, Refreshment Stands/kiosks/counters, Mobile food services, Event catering and other food services) and (2) "Estimate Monetary Value" of the donated Food Surplus or Food Waste by Food Service Industry. Unfortunately, the DSWD does not have the information you need. Thus, we are constrained to deny your request. Under Executive Order No. 128, series of 1987, the Food Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) is mandated to undertake research that defines the citizenry’s nutritional status, with reference particularly to the malnutrition problem, its causes and effects, and identify alternative solutions to them. Hence, you may wish to direct your request to the FNRI by submitting a request to the FNRI via this portal. You may also contact the FNRI by telephone at 837-2071 locals 2284 and 2286 or via email at [email protected] Furthermore, since you are asking for information that may have to do with the business of the food service industry in the Philippines, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) may have the data you need. Under Republic Act 10625 (the Philippine Statistical Act of 2013), the PSA is the government agency responsible for preparing and conducting periodic censuses on population, housing, agriculture, fisheries, business, industry and other sectors of the economy. Hence, you may wish to direct your request to the PSA by submitting a request to the PSA via this portal. You may also contact the PSA by telephone at 462-6600 locals 839, 833 and 834 or via email at [email protected]. Very Truly Yours, Atty. Maria Cassandra M. Urbiztondo FOI Decision Maker
