To Whom It May Concern,

Good day! I am currently doing academic research on the "recognition as a Filipino citizen." I would like to request statistical data regarding the "Law Instructions No. BRB 99-002": specifically, the number of 1) the applications, 2) the accepted and denied cases, 3) the nationality or citizenship of the applicants, and 4) the periods (from the enacted date until the present).

Thank you.
