Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

January 17, 2022 Dear Ms. Ma. Patricia Rose Bolivar, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jan 14, 2022 08:38:19 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch financial assistance for OFWs exposed to COVID-19. Applied on April 13, 2020 and a recipient of DOLE-AKAP financial assistance from Region IV-A. Since your status as an OFW is no longer active, the financial assistance you need in relation to COVID must be done through the Local Government Unit (LGU) e.g., barangay, city/municipality or province. You may also want to review the benefits of OWWA for its members (active and non-active) at the website: owwa.gov.ph. If you think you met the qualification requirements then apply on-line or proceed to any of the OWWA Satellite Offices at Region 4A. 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
