Department of Budget and Management(DBM-)

September 11, 2020 Dear Moh. Ar-rafih Jamalul, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Sep 07, 2020 08:21:32 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for the DBM to release a documentation or order for the resumption of the processing and releasing of claims for the NAPOLCOM's PNP Welfare Benefits. Per your representation, a NAPOLCOM representative called to inform you that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has already advised that the Audit Observation Memorandum issued by the Commission on Audit (COA) will only be lifted if and only the DBM would coordinate with the COA on the matter. Please be informed that our Department has not received yet a copy of DOJ decision on the matter. Nevertheless, it is noted that you also forwarded a similar request to this Department via email. To update you, said request was already referred to the NAPOLCOM for verification, comment, and/or appropriate action, a copy of which was sent to your email . 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 DBM Secretary Wendel E. Avisado and [email protected]. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response, and should be made within 15 calendar days from the date when you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within 30 calendar days from the date when we receive your review request. If you are not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011). Thank you. Respectfully, Beverly Galmesa FOI Receiving Officer
