Dear Mr. Jhon Bryan Ayes,
Greetings!
Thank you for your request dated 26 April 2021 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
Your request
You requested for the following information:
1. The statistics of homeless families in Manila from the year 2020-2021 or any most latest data as much as possible.
2. The number of rescued homeless families in Manila and other latest information about them.
Response to your request
Unfortunately, the DSWD does not have the information you need. Thus, we are constrained to deny your request.
It is the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) that may have the data you require. Under Republic Act 10625 (the “Philippine Statistical Act of 2013”), the PSA is the government agency responsible for preparing and conducting periodic censuses on population, housing, agriculture, fisheries, business, industry and other sectors of the economy. 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].
Furthermore, since you are asking for information specific to City of Manila, the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Manila may also have the data you wish to obtain. You may also contact the City of Manila by telephone at (02) 8527 0972 or via email at
[email protected].
Your right to request a review

BAUTISTA at DSWD-Central Office, IBP Road Batasan Pambansa Complex, Constitution Hills, Quezon City. 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.
Thank you.
