Department of Budget and Management(DBM-)

February 8, 2017 Dear Arjay Fronteras, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jan 05, 2017 09:58:57 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for how much was released for the cementing of various Brgy. Roads in Valencia City. Your FOI request is approved. However, we are sorry we are unable to respond to your query due to lack of details: (a) year/date of release; (b) funding source; (c) implementing agency. We checked the DPWH Infra Program for the FY 2015 and 2016, but said road projects are not included in the lists. Since they are Brgy Road Projects, then there is a possibility that they are included in the "Farm to Market Road (FMR)" projects being implemented by the Department of Agriculture (DA). May we suggest that sufficient details be provided to enable us to respond accordingly, or you may address your query directly to the implementing agencies, either DPWH or DA. Your right to request a review 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 Secretary Benjamin E. Diokno and email dbm.gov.ph>. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response, and should be made within 15 calendar days from the date when you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within 30 calendar days from the date when we receive your review request. If you are 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, Maria Grace DeLos Santos FOI Receiving Officer
