Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

June 6, 2022 Dear Ms. Rufina Dela Cruz, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jun 05, 2022 12:12:44 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for an update of your DOLE-AKAP Application. Ms. Dela Cruz please be CORRECTLY INFORMED that DOLE-AKAP is a financial assistance under the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and not with OWWA. Therefore, DO YOUR FOLLOW-UPS WITH DOLE REGIONAL OFFICE III. In using the e-FOI, go to the DOLE website at: www.dole.gov.ph and type the Department of Labor and Employment. Follow the instructions so that your request can be duly acted upon by the designated FOI officers of DOLE. Moreover, this is not the first time you inquired about the same concern on DOLE-AKAP. It is to your best interest that OWWA suggests that you go directly to the DOLE Regional Office in San Fernando, Pampanga since we do not have records of your deployment as an OFW as well as Membership payment to OWWA. 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 the OWWA- FOI Decision Makers 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
