Dear Kate Angelou Velasquez,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Sep 15, 2021 06:51:20 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Solar Radiation in Cabangan, Zambales.

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. This is because the focus of our agency's studies is more on ionizing radiation. However, regular solar radiation is at the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum, and is usually not within the scope of our research.

However, you might want to try viewing some related studies via the DOST Scinet, where a cursory search into solar radiation studies may yield some results. You can visit its public access catalog here:

Once you are able to view the studies, it may help you track any research institutions which may be conducting similar studies on solar radiation data in different parts of the country.

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


Thank you.

Respectfully,
Hans Joshua Dantes
FOI Officer
