Hi! just want to ask regarding the update on the release of my dole akap fund assistance. it's been approved and ready for release since October 2021 but up until now I haven't received the reference code for claiming the fund. I have followed up with OWWA Region IV-A several times already but have been told that they are still also awaiting for the reference codes from DOLE. it's been almost 8 months since its been approved but still waiting for the actual fund to be released. I hope you can tag the relevant department regarding my concern. thank you!

May 27, 2022 Dear Ms. Gretchen Ariño, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated May 26, 2022 04:30:17 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for an update of your DOLE-AKAP Application. Ms. Ariño as of date we have NO Record on the OFW Verification System of your online application for the DOLE-AKAP financial assistance. Kindly refer to the website or social media of the DOLE for a clear understanding of the program. The DOLE-AKAP is only for OFWs who lost their overseas employment due to COVID 19 reasons. Former OFWs already in the Philippines prior to COVID-19 pandemic in 2019 and those who came home because the overseas employment contract has ended are not entitled to DOLE-AKAP. BE CORRECTLY INFORMED that the DOLE-AKAP is handled by the Department of Labor and Employment and therefore all queries on the status of your application particularly on the availability of funds must be directed to the DOLE Regional or Provincial office and not with OWWA. The role of OWWA is only to validate the correctness of the requirement you submitted online against the OFW data base. Follow up with the nearest DOLE Regional Office at Calamba City or call DOLE Hotline at 1349. 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 the OWWA- FOI Decision Makers 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, ATTY. EDELYN D. CLAUSTRO Director IV- Administrative and Financial Management Office OWWA-FOI Decision Maker
