Good day! This is concerning about my assistance that I have applied for when I am still in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I have diagnosed as a positive patient while I was there and during that time we filed for assistance in the POLO Office there in Jeddah. According to my fellow workers who are still currently there in Jeddah the assistance has already been approved and was released to the patients who applied. My concern is with me already here in the Philippines, how will I claim my assistance that I have applied there? Hoping to hear from you soonest. God bless.

February 23, 2021 Dear Mr. Reynaldo Jr Bunda, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Feb 13, 2021 02:58:17 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for financial assistance while at Jeddah, KSA.. OWWA Verification System shows that you applied online for the DOLE-AKAP on October 22, 2020 and was evaluated by OWWA-RWO 3 as APPROVED on 10/29/2020 and RELEASED on 11/20/2020 with tracking no. MLA001201844724101120. Since you are a repatriated OFW and already a recipient of DOLE-AKAP, therefore you forfeit the benefits/assistance given by the Philippine government to qualified distressed OFWs while in the host country awaiting repatriation or the possibility of getting a valid employment. 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, RODRIGO F. PASCUA, JR. OWWA Deputy Administrator FOI Decision Maker
