Department of Transportation(DOTr)

July 5, 2023 Dear Ayron Jon, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jun 10, 2023 09:47:53 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. Your request You asked for Metro Manila Urban Transportation Integration Study (MMUTIS). Response to your request We were able to determine that this particular information is already available online and therefore cannot be counted as a valid FOI request. Per the Road Transport Planning Division, MMUTIS is a study conducted in 1996. This study was already updated in 2015, and known as MMUTIS Update and Enhancement Project (MUCEP). If you want the MUCEP report, it is already accessible online. Please see this link: http://open_jicareport.jica.go.jp/pdf/12247615.pdf But if you want an access to the MUCEP Database itself, there are requirements you need to comply as the result of the study is for limited access only, and not for public consumption. Please let us know if the online report will suffice or you need the access to the MUCEP Database. Your right to request a review If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to Secretary Jaime J. Bautista at [email protected]. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response, and should be made within 15 calendar days from the date when you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within 30 calendar days from the date when we receive your review request. If you are not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011). Thank you. Respectfully, Kriscia Mallari FOI Officer
