April 30, 2021 Dear Ms. Daffodil Santillan, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Apr 30, 2021 12:41:58 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for data on OFW employment status during COVID-19. Ms. Santillan as a student of the University of the Philippines, Diliman you are aware that the required data is complex and requires several data bases from different government agencies e.g immigration for type of visa given to Filipinos for departing and incoming Filipinos; POEA for status of overseas employment; OWWA/DILG/DILG/DOH and DBM for welfare or financial assistance. The individual/household expenditure coming from the assistance provided by government to OFWs needs some statistical regression analysis. Review the different government website if their data bases contain what you need. Moreover, you must be realistic, that during this world-wide pandemic and the new mode of work arrangements will unlikely provide you the data on very short period of time. 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 Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac at email: [email protected]. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response and should be made within FIFTEEN (15) calendar days from the date you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within THIRTY (30) calendar days from the date we received your review request. However, if you are still 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, RODRIGO F. PASCUA, JR. OWWA Deputy Administrator FOI Decision Maker
