I just learned of S.W.F.'s Diksiyonaryo.ph site.
https://www.foi.gov.ph/requests/aglzfmVmb2ktcGhyHQsSB0NvbnRlbnQiEEtXRi0wMjU2NTEwMzc1NTMM
Rival K.W.F. announced its existence…
https://twitter.com/kwfilipino/status/906029683677970432
… suggesting it's theirs in page 9.
https://kwf.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/DF2.pdf
When did S.W.F. gain ownership? Why did they not add their seal, add their site-link, and advertise Diksiyonaryo.ph on their own site?
https://pages.upd.edu.ph/sentrofilipino/UPdiksiyonaryongFilipino
or
https://swf.upm.edu.ph/
Are there plans to do so?

My questions are… ①When did Diksiyonaryo.ph become S.W.F.'s online-dictionary? Another agency (K.W.F.) announced its existence and suggested of it (as per my prior-cited sources), yet my also-cited F.O.I.-request (#KWF-025651037553) revealed Diksiyonaryo.ph is the S.W.F.'s, not the K.W.F.'s. WHEN did the ownership change? (Or was the S.W.F. always the owner?)
②Why is there no indication of S.F.W.'s ownership of Diksiyonaryo.ph: no seal and/or links to/from S.W.F.'s website(s)?
③Are there any plans of doing so?

Can I get a follow-up to this, please? Clarification was given, but no indication was given if it was sufficient or not (and if not, what should be added to fix it).

Dear Mr. Tumang,
Greetings!
Thank you for your request dated Nov 06, 2023 08:47:49 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
Your Request
You asked for Request on Sentro ng Wikang Filipino (S.W.F.)'s New Online Dictionary.
Response to Request
Your FOI request is approved. We finally got hold of a former staff from SWF who knows the history of the website Diskyonaryo.ph. This is the information we got:
"Para po sa sagot sa inyong katanungan, ang diksiyonaryo.ph ay binuo ni Pambansang Alagad ng Sining Virgilio S. Almario. Batay po ito sa pagkompirma ni Prop. Eilene Narvaez na kasamang bumuo ng diksiyonaryong ito. Samakatuwid, ang diksiyonaryo.ph ay hindi po sa SWF."
That is the only information the SWF can give about the website, which we had to track down and verify until we got hold of a former employee who was around that time. We hope this resolves the matter you raised. Thank you very much.
