Good day! I am currently doing a thesis that involves the study of Fireflies in the Philippines, particularly in Los Banos, Laguna. In line with that, I would like to request your good office of a soft copy of any data or study that shows there is a decrease or threat in the population or species of fireflies. Rest assured that the gathered data will remain confidential and be used for academic purposes only. I am hoping for your kind and favorable consideration in this matter. Thank you.

October 5, 2022 Dear Maureen Abriol, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Sep 20, 2022 01:09:52 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. This pertains to your eFOI request with the tracking number #DENRBMB-807435120298 requesting information or data involving fireflies found in Los Baños, Laguna. Fireflies, in general, require a pristine environment to survive. Habitat loss and light pollution are the two major causes of their decreasing population. In the Philippines, however, we do not have enough information regarding this matter. You may coordinate with the Institute of Weed Science, Entomology and Plant Pathology of the University of the Philippines Los Baños regarding this matter. May we also recommend that you visit online portals that contain journal articles and research relevant to your study, for your reference. Thank you. Respectfully, Wildlife Resources Division Decision Maker FOI Receiving Officer
