Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

January 27, 2022 Dear Danilo Mercolita Jr, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jan 26, 2022 11:31:14 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for updates of TABANG EASE PROGRAM. Mr. Mercolita kindly follow the requirements in seeking assistance with eFOI. You are required to submit a snapshot of a government issued ID. But you failed to submit it, hence, we cannot verify and validate records without ensuring that the personal information is the owner. Please be informed that the DOLE-TABANG and OWWA-EASE are separate programs implemented by different agencies. OWWA does the verification/validation process for both programs. The OWWA-EASE is an educational assistance for the dependents of active OWWA members. You can direct your follow-ups with OWWA-NCR. The contact numbers are found at the website: owwa.gov.ph. 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 Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac at email: [email protected]. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response and should be made within FIFTEEN (15) calendar days from the date you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within THIRTY (30) calendar days from the date we received your review request. However, if you are still 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, ATTY. EDELYN D. CLAUSTRO Director IV- Administrative and Financial Management Office OWWA-FOI Decision Maker
