October 28, 2019 Dear Farisha, Thank you for your request dated Oct 26, 2019 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Population of solo parent/ single parent per municipalities and cities of Cavite.

Should you have any questions regarding your request, kindly contact me using the reply function on the eFOI portal at https://www.foi.gov.ph/requests/aglzfmVmb2ktcGhyHgsSB0NvbnRlbnQiEURTV0QtNTcyMTgxMzMyMjAzDA, for request with ticket number #DSWD-572181332203.

4 November 2019 Dear Ms. Farisha Sybil H. Mohametano, You requested for information on the following: “Any recent available data or statistics of solo parents or single parents. Specifically, any data or statistics of solo parents or single parents per municipalities and cities in Cavite.” Unfortunately, the DSWD does not have the information you need. Thus, we are constrained to deny your request. Under Republic Act 10625 (the Philippine Statistical Act of 2013), the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is the government agency responsible for preparing and conducting periodic censuses on population, housing, agriculture, fisheries, business, industry and other sectors of the economy. Hence, you may wish to direct your request to the PSA by submitting a request to the PSA via this portal. You may also contact the PSA by telephone at 462-6600 locals 839, 833 and 834 or via email at [email protected]. Furthermore, since you are asking data specific to Cavite, the LGU of Cavite may also have the data you wish to obtain. Under the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 8972 (the Solo Parents Welfare Act of 2000), the registration and the issuance of the Solo Parents ID is the responsibility of the respective city/municipal social welfare development office (C/M SWDO) where the solo parent resides. The C/M SWDO is not under the DSWD but is instead under the jurisdiction of their respective local government units. Therefore, you may also direct your request to the LGU of Cavite. Very Truly Yours, Atty. Maria Cassandra M. Urbiztondo FOI Decision Maker
