Good day! I am Harry John Sebastian. Last July 22, 2021, I applied for the Balik Pinas Balik Hanapbuhay program by OWWA for OFWs. I have submitted all the requirements they asked for. They informed me that it will take 45 working days. I just wish to know if the department still cares for us who spent money and time just to comply for the requirements. It would be great if you could check if the program is still running and still has funds for us. And if my name is on the list of recipients. Thanks.

December 27, 2021 Dear Mr. Harry John Sebastian, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Dec 26, 2021 09:27:51 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for an update of your application to the OWWA's BPBH. Mr. Sebastian did you apply for your BPBH at the OWWA-Region 4A or its satellite offices? The OWWA-FOI forwarded your concern to OWWA Region 4A so they can call you directly about the status of your BPBH. The OWWA continue to allocate funds for the BPBH program. We hope that the OWWA Regional Office explained the procedures of BPBH during the new normal. The procedures e.g. the attendance of a business orientation where the applicant will have to submit a business plan for Php 20k initial capitalization. Then, there is an inspection of the cite and interview, after which if the business is feasible, it is endorsed to the for approval to the Regional Director for the processing of the fund which is submitted to the Central Office. We hope for deeper understanding. OWWA is a government office and therefore has to abide with protocols imposed by national and local government during the world-wide health pandemic. Hence, social distance, travel and face-to-face transactions are the limitations that prevent the immediate implementation of programs for OFWs. 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
