Hello PCSO Team, Greetings! I am writing to your good office to ask for your assistance. I am a worker (teacher) abroad - Vietnam. I am the bread winner of my family in Aklan. I am working legally here in Vietnam but I was not register under POEA nor OWWA. I was about to go home last year to process my registration. Sad to say, I was stuck here due to the pandemic. Now my visa is expiring soon. I don't have any job. I haven't even pay my rent for the past months. I am broke and lost. I cannot go home unless I pay all the bills here. I believe that you can help me see my family again. Thank you

November 17, 2021 Dear Mr. Renz Ian Caase, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Nov 16, 2021 04:58:40 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for Cash Assistance of an undocumented Filipino Worker Abroad in Vietnam to pay personal loans. Mr. Caase It is indeed an irony when you say that you are legally working in Vietnam yet it is convenient for you to violate several laws/rules in the Philippines on immigration, overseas employment and falsification of documents. However, you seek for the Philippine Government's assistance to pay your personal loans. Why not the Vietnam government and your employer? As a Philippine government agency, OWWA can advise you to directly contact the Philippine Embassy in Vietnam for their assistance. You will have to be truthful in giving your statement since it will be notarized by the Philippine Embassy. Reflect also that you are not a member of OWWA hence do you think our members will allow non-members to use the OWWA Fund. As the steward of the OFW-OWWA Fund, the Commission on Audit will never allow OWWA to dispense funds of our members for your personal purpose. However, we can provide welfare assistance and referral services to overseas Filipinos in your situation. 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, ATTY. EDELYN D. CLAUSTRO Director IV- Administrative and Financial Management Office OWWA-FOI Decision Maker
