Please be informed that the purpose of your request lacks specificity as specified under Section 21.2 of the Revised People's Freedom of Information Manual for the Bureau of Internal Revenue, Chapter VII-Standard Procedure for eFOI Requests, quoted as follows: Sec. 21.2 The purpose of the request for information shall be specific or adequately and sufficiently described. General averments of the purpose such as "for information", "for research", "for legal purpose", or other similarly worded purposes shall not be considered to have met the requirements of specificity.
