Dear Citizen,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated 19 September 2023 10:21:18 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for data on estimated domestic and foreign tourist receipts in Oriental Mindoro from 2019-2022.

Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance, this Office will have to deny this request as it is similar to your other request with the reference number #DOT-181947003372 dated 1 August 2023 which we have already answered on 16 September 2023. 

May we reiterate our reminder that the eFOI portal is made to process requests for information from regular citizens. Requests for official data from one government agency to another, where the data being requested will be used to execute its mandate are considered an official government transaction. As such, it should be made through official business between government agencies in the form of a letter or email, direct to the specific agency. This advice was provided by the FOI-PMO. As such, you should direct your request to the DOT MIMAROPA thru their email: [email protected].

For further assistance, you may review the FAQ section of the eFOI site: https://www.foi.gov.ph/help.

Your right to request a review

If you are unhappy with our response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review by writing a letter or email addressed to Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco of the Department of Tourism and sending it through the email address: [email protected].

We will complete the review and notify you of the result within 30 working days from the date when we receive your request for review.

If you are 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).
