March 31, 2021 Dear Mr. Patrick John Nierves, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Mar 30, 2021 12:21:44 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for data on repatriated OFWs and programs provided for them. Mr. Nierves the data for repatriated workers as well as programs of OWWA can be viewed at the OWWA Website: owwa.gov.ph or at dole.gov.ph. The aggregated data by province and country of origin is available but you have to visit the OWWA Center in Pasay with a letter for the Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac as you have to look at big-data bases. I hope you have a good background in are statistical programs. Moreover, you have to clarify your working definition as to the country of origin. The Philippine government views "country of origin" of the OFW is the Philippines. REPATRIATION comes from the Spanish word PATRIA meaning my country so with the prefix RE it now stands for "return to my country". If you are a student doing your research paper clarify your parameters of study. Check also the POEA, Philippine Statistics Authority and the Bureau of Immigration since their databases capture the deployment and travel of Filipinos overseas and eventual return. 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
