Dear Sir/Madam,
Good day!
The Children's Emergency Relief and Protection Act (RA 10821) was enacted in May 2016 and the DPWH is one of the agencies tasked to implement provisions on setting up transitional shelters and evacuation centers.
For this reason, may I request a copy of DPWH's policy directives (circulars, orders), plans/programs to see what has done to implement RA 10821? It is not meant to evaluate the agency/office per se but the research hopes to show where is the law in terms of its stage of implementation.
Thank you for your prompt reply!
Sincerely,
Roy Bautista

Dear OIC-Dir. Santiago,
This letter is in line with my eFOI request dated 10 May 2021 re copy of DPWH’s policy directives (circulars, orders), plans, and programs aimed at implementing RA 10821 of 2016.
Section 4 (a)Establishment of Evacuation Centers. – “LGUs shall establish and identify safe locations as evacuation centers for children and families…”
(b) Establishment of Transitional Shelters for Orphaned, Separated, and Unaccompanied Children. – The National Housing Authority (NHA) shall, in coordination with the DSWD, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), and LGUs of the areas declared under a state of calamity, immediately establish an option for transitional shelters
In line with the abovementioned Section 4 (a) (b), may I request for a copy of DPWH’s circulars, guidelines, standards or plans in the establishment of evacuation centers (ECs) and transitional shelters. For Sec 4(a), even though it is the task of LGUs to establish evacuation centers, LGUs would still have to coordinate with DPWH in securing designs or specifications of ECs which are child or women-friendly. Similar with Sec 4(b), NHA would coordinate with DPWH on the designs.
I am currently finishing my academic Policy Research entitled Review on the Implementation of the “Children’s Emergency Relief and Protection Act (R.A. 10821): Towards an Enhanced Disaster and Risk Reduction and Management Plan” which aims to determine the status of implementation of the law by government agencies since it was enacted 5 years ago. Data gathering is also being done at the LGU level on this matter to draw inputs and recommendations to enhance DRRM planning.
Thank you very much for your support to this undertaking.
Sincerely,
Roy Bautista
