17 October 2019 Dear Ms. Jody Joan Campos, You requested for information on the following: “(1) The number of Abandoned and Neglected children only in CAR. (percentages can also be helpful); (2) Their Age brackets - if available, children up to age 12 can suffice; (3) Top reasons why they are abandoned or neglected if available; and (4) Number of Government and non-government organizations that focus on childcare in CAR”. DSWD has information on number (4). Unfortunately, the DSWD only has limited information on numbers (1), (2) and (3) specifically to those abandoned and neglected children residing in its centers and institutions and those who are community-based served by the DSWD in the CAR. Thus, we shall partially grant your request and we shall refer your request with respect to this matter to the proper DSWD office. Under Republic Act 10625 (the “Philippine Statistical Act of 2013”), the Philippine Statistics Authority is the government agency responsible for preparing and conducting periodic censuses on population, housing, agriculture, fisheries, business, industry and other sectors of the economy. The PSA may have the complete data for numbers (1), (2) and (3). Hence, you may wish to direct your request to the PSA by submitting a request to the PSA via this portal. You may also contact the PSA by telephone at 462-6600 locals 839, 833 and 834 or via email at [email protected]. Further, since you are asking data specific to CAR, the respective LGUs in CAR might also have the data you are looking for in numbers (1), (2) and (3) in their respective jurisdictions. Hence, you may also wish to direct your request to each LGU in CAR. Very Truly Yours, Atty. Maria Cassandra M. Urbiztondo FOI Decision Maker
