Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance this Office does not have the particular information you have requested as our system doesn't record processed passengers categorized per visa. However, you may wish to contact the specific embassy where the said students are bound for. 

For further assistance you may review the FAQ section of the eFOI site: https://www.foi.gov.ph/help.
