Dear Sir/Mam, I am an OFW who tested positive in Covid last July 2020, I heard that our Philippine government provide financial assistance to those ofw, unfortunately by that time I wasnt able to send email or request since I was still on Saudi and also I didnt know that there is assistance. I am writing this message to let you know that I am willing to send all the medical certificate that I have. Please help me get my assistance as it would be a big help for my family. My email is [email protected] Thankyou very much!

January 11, 2022 Dear Mr. Elvin Kevin Bautista, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jan 05, 2022 12:19:36 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for financial assistance for OFWs infected by COVID-19. Mr. Bautista this is the age of e-technology and your lack of knowledge of what is happening world-wide is a lame excuse. What assistance can be given to you? If you are overseas and with a job, your employer or the country provides for medical treatment. However, while hospitalized or healing to be able to work the POLO-OWWA provides the financial assistance ALAGANG KABAYAN intended to help you cope-up and subsist. Contact the Philippine Embassy/Consular Office nearest you. Their contact numbers, including the POLO-OWWA are in the website. If, you are a repatriated OFW, then at any Philippine entry airports the OWWA is present to guide you on the application to the DOLE-AKAP. Or, just search the internet for the DOLE-AKAP and it will direct you to its on-line application. Mr. Bautista, we pride ourselves that the Filipino overseas workers are world-class, hence be knowledgeable and updated with the correct information at the right 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, ATTY. EDELYN D. CLAUSTRO Director IV- Administrative and Financial Management Office OWWA-FOI Decision Maker
