Commission on Filipinos Overseas(CFO)

April 17, 2023 Dear Aldinn Albrando, I refer to my letter of Apr 14, 2023 10:28:50 AM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Latest data of the healthcare workers (HCW) deployed overseas. In order for us to work further on your request, we need more information from you regarding your query. The CFO only has data on the occupation of healthcare workers prior to permanent migration. There is no record of their occupation when they move abroad. Would this data still suffice? You may use the reply function on the eFOI portal at https://shop.efoi-ph.appspot.com/requests/aglzfmVmb2ktcGhyHQsSB0NvbnRlbnQiEENGTy03MDk2NTM3Mzc5MzIM, for request with ticket number #CFO-709653737932, to respond. During the period of us awaiting your reply, your request will be put on hold. If we do not receive a reply on or before Jul 10, 2023 09:19:38 AM, your request will be closed. We hope to hear from you at the soonest possible time. Thank you. Respectfully, Policy, Planning, and Research Division Commission on Filipinos Overseas
