Dear Ms. Mae Marife Sumbilon,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated 1 May 2020 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You requested for inclusion in the Social Amelioration Program even though you are employed because you are affected by the “No Work, No Pay” Policy of your company and you are a mother of three and sole bread winner. Further, your company has been denied by DOLE CAMP and is not eligible for SBWS from SSS.

Response to your request

Unfortunately, this is not a valid Freedom of Information (FOI) Request. Thus, we are constrained to deny your request.

Regarding your concern, you may request your barangay that you be included in the SAP because it is your barangay which finalizes the SAP list. Also, the Department of Interior and Local Government has already ordered each barangay to publish the SAP beneficiaries. Thus, you could inquire at your barangay regarding this matter.

For further financial help, you may contact DSWD NCR by phone at 8733-0010 to 18 or email them at [email protected] or directly at DSWD FO NCR’s Crisis Intervention Section at 8735-5413.

You may also try to contact the Las Piñas City LGU if they could help you. You may contact their City Social Welfare and Development Office for financial assistance, as well.

Further still, you may contact the DSWD Social Amelioration Program Hotline Numbers at telephone  number 16545 or by cellular phones through calling 09474822864 (Smart), 09162471194 (Globe) or 09329333251 (Sun) or texting 09189122813 or by e-mail at [email protected] to inquire about your concerns and/or report irregularities about the Social Amelioration Program brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 ROLANDO JOSELITO D. BAUTISTA at DSWD-Central Office, IBP Road Batasan Pambansa Complex, Constitution Hills, Quezon City. 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).
