Thus, we are constrained to deny your request. Pursuant to Presidential Decree 1509, as amended, the National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA) is the national government agency mandated to formulate policies and coordinate the activities of all agencies, whether public or private, concerning disability issues and concerns. They may also have the data you need. Hence, you also may wish to direct your request to the NCDA. You may contact them by telephone at 932-6422 or via email at [email protected]. Very Truly Yours, Atty. Maria Cassandra M. Urbiztondo FOI Decision Maker
