November 24, 2021 Dear Mr. Ronnie Garay, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Nov 23, 2021 11:52:56 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for financial assistance for former OFWs with special needs. Mr. Garay kindly follow always the rules of government in seeking assistance. You are required to submit a snapshot of a government issued ID by the eFOI but you failed to do so. With respect to seeking financial assistance for a former OFW we suggest you directly contact your local government (barangay, municipality, city or province) for endorsement to study or upgrade skills for employment with TESDA or the DTI for business assistance to earn an income. 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
