June 19, 2023 Dear Sedric Suringa, I refer to my letter of Jun 15, 2023 06:10:09 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Shapefiles of evacuation centers in NCR and Iloilo Region. While we aim to provide information whenever possible, in this instance, we find your request incomplete. Thus, your FOI request did not meet the requisites of a valid FOI request. Section 9 of Executive Order No. 2 states that: SECTION 9. Procedure. The following procedure shall govern the filing and processing of requests for access to information: (a) Any person who requests access to information shall submit a written request to the government office concerned. The request shall state the name and contact information of the requesting party, provide valid proof of his identification or authorization, and reasonably describe the information requested, and the reason for, or purpose of, the request for information: Provided, that no request shall be denied or refused acceptance unless the reason for the request is contrary to law, existing rules and regulations or it is one of the exceptions contained in the inventory or updated inventory of exception as hereinabove provided. X X X Given the above, we request you to accomplish the FOI Request form we sent to your email and submit it together with one (1) government-issued I.D. or valid school I.D. (front and back) to immediately facilitate your request. You may use the reply function on the eFOI portal at http://efoi-ph.uc.r.appspot.com/requests/aglzfmVmb2ktcGhyHgsSB0NvbnRlbnQiEURTV0QtNDQ3NzMyNDkwNTYyDA, for request with ticket number #DSWD-447732490562, to respond.

We hope to hear from you at the soonest possible time. Thank you. Respectfully, Myrna Reyes FOI Officer
