November 16, 2018 Dear Princess Marie Marquez, I refer to my letter of Oct 31, 2018 12:54:23 PM; about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Gross Regional Domestic Product of Cordillera Administrative Region and Literacy Rate. Our response to your request is due on Nov 21, 2018 12:54:23 PM. Unfortunately, it is taking longer than expected to deal with your request because we are still gathering GRDP statistics and literacy rate for the years prior to 2010. For the years 2010 onwards the data is already available online. I apologize for this delay but have applied for an extension so we could work further on your request. We hope to be able to send you a response on or before Dec 19, 2018 12:54:23 PM. Should you have any questions regarding your request, kindly contact me using the reply function on the eFOI portal at https://www.foi.gov.ph/requests/aglzfmVmb2ktcGhyHQsSB0NvbnRlbnQiEFBTQS02NTkxOTA3NDIzOTYM, for request with ticket number #PSA-659190742396.
