Dear Paul Anthony Colina,

I refer to my letter of Dec 13, 2022 09:10:11 AM; about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Possible sources on the cultural partnership made by CCP with U.S. government and UNESCO.

Our response to your request is due on Jan 03, 2023 09:10:11 AM. Unfortunately, it is taking longer than expected to deal with your request because of the recent transfer of our offices together with our records and files to another location. Major renovations are being undertaken at the CCP Main Building which has prompted our transfer.

I apologize for this delay but have applied for an extension so we could work further on your request. We hope to be able to send you a response on or before Jan 31, 2023 09:10:11 AM.
