6 May 2020 Dear Mr. Elber Bonie Capin, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated 4 May 2020 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. Your request You requested information on the following regarding the SAP List in Mandaue City, Cebu because of the need for reliable information: (1) the total number of SAP Beneficiaries in Mandaue City, Cebu; and (2) all the names of qualified individuals. Response to your request Unfortunately, the DSWD can only grant data requested for number (1) because (2) is not a valid Freedom of Information (FOI) Request. Thus, the DSWD can only partially grant your request and we shall refer your request with respect to this matter to the proper DSWD office. For (2), however, 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. As to the publication of names, 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. 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.
