I would like to kindly request for the following data:
1) Site Criteria on Research and Development Facilities

Thank you so much!

Dear Natalie,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Nov 08, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Site Criteria for Research Facility.

Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance this Office does not have the information you have requested. As per our coordination with the Arch. Oba of Bureau of Design, this Department, we only design satellite offices for our own Bureau of Research and Standards. Though, we have criteria for Government Office building locations, office building is different with research facility. 

For further assistance you may review the FAQ section of the eFOI site: https://www.foi.gov.ph/help.
