Greetings! 

I'm Ivel Santos, a researcher at VERA Files, a non-profit media organization. We're doing a research on media ownership in the Philippines. Part of our initiative is to gather the latest list of television stations in the country.

May I request for the following documents: 
1) List of all television stations as of 2023 (in a table format listing down the company, call sign, frequency (analog and digital), location, among other information that you have.) 

We hope to receive the data in the form of PDF or XLSX.

Hello. I've updated my details on the portal including a valid ID. 

The FOI officer said: "Moreover, the requested information was already posted in this portal in the successful request. Please be informed that those data should only be used for legitimate reasons and those are still the same data that we have on file." 

Since you already have the data on file, can you please directly provide me a copy? This is to avoid confusion on my part. Further, the most recent successful requests similar to my request do not have attachments that I can download. Thank you!
