Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

April 11, 2022 Dear Mr. RONIE FRANCIS ORCINE, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Apr 11, 2022 11:55:59 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for cash assistance for training needs as a seafarer. Based on the database of OWWA you received a Seafarer Upgrading Program in 07/04/2017 at NCR. The SUP qualification states that the seafarer has to have 5 contributions in order to avail of the training program. As per OWWA record you had only one(1) OWWA Membership contribution after 2017 as such, will not qualify to the SUP. Nonetheless, you can seek the assistance of your LGU or TESDA for scholarship to an NCII training course suited for a seafarer. 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, ATTY. EDELYN D. CLAUSTRO Director IV- Administrative and Financial Management Office OWWA-FOI Decision Maker
