Department of Labor and Employment(DOLE)

DOLE previously placed Labatt Dela Torre and others under investigation and acted on behalf of employment agencies to recall Labatt Dela Torre.

I would like to obtain the final results of this investigation as well as the final report such as investigation results, evidence found, and any meetings or discussions with Labatt Dizon who subsequently was informed about a secret project that is reportedly replacing Polaris after DOLE unilaterally canceled a 5-year exclusive contract.

Dear Ms. Graciadas:

This refers to your query entitled: "POLO-HK investigation results into Polaris and Labatt Dela Torre."

Please note that the request was previously denied as this would result to prejudicial premature disclosure.

Such information which is again being requested pertains to our investigation in the exercise of our administrative powers and therefore is exempted from FOI.

Thank you.

Respectfully yours,

Director ALICE Q. VISPERAS
FOI Decision Maker
