In #DOLE-734236603360, DOLE denied having received a letter from Allan Smith. I would like to know why DOLE lied about having received this letter. A copy of the letter is available here: https://imgur.com/a/pxBz2m1 Could you please clarify whether it is DOLE policy to deny the existence of public documents to the detriment of Filipinos or if the DOLE administration is hiding these documents for personal reasons? DOLE received these documents via email and via personal delivery as well and confirmed receipt of them.
