Hi! My TABANG application was denied, despite immediately giving all information necessary. This was sent to me: "As per our memo, finished contract po are not eligible for the program." I asked for the official memo indicating the basis for this denial. I was met with no response even though we were communicating back and forth with urgency. I am requesting the official memo regarding the said basis for the denial. If this is not within FOI's responsibility, I would at least ask for information regarding the standards and eligibility of TABANG's approval/denial. Many thanks!

February 2, 2021 Dear Mr. KRISTOFFER LAURENCE TAAG, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jan 13, 2021 04:36:43 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for information about DOLE-TABANG Program. To date, the OWWA Verification System DO NOT HAVE A RECORD for the DOLE-TABANG online application for a KRISTOFFER LAURENCE M. TAAG. If you are interested to get information about the qualification eligibility of OFW dependents for DOLE-TABANG, it can be easily accessed at the websites of DOLE and OWWA and other social media platform. Further, be informed that DOLE-AKAP is an educational financial assistance from the Philippine government through the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) as part of the BAYANIHAN 1 and 2. This is specifically for the untimely pre-termination of employment and repatriation of OFWs who lost their overseas employment on account of COVID-19. The financial assistance is to help the OFW family defray the cost of education of one of their children enrolled in tertiary/college level. OWWA, CHED and DOST have existing scholarship programs for tertiary education entrants or are already in school. 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].

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, RODRIGO F. PASCUA, JR. OWWA Deputy Administrator FOI Decision Maker
