Department of Agriculture

October 26, 2017

Dear Dominique Legaspi,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Jul 29, 2017 06:53:23 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Number of persons Employed in Crops/Farming Production (1970-2016).

Response to your request

We sincerely apologized for our late response. The Department of Agriculture is on the process of improving our compliance with the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill. Just this month, we have accessed with the e-FOI. We hope for your understanding.

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance this Office does not have the information you have requested. However, you may wish to contact Philippine Statistics Authority at (02) 462-6600 locals 839, 833 and 834, or resubmit your request addressed to the correct agency on the eFOI portal at psa.gov.ph.

Currently, the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics, the agency who handles statistical data in agriculture, was transferred to the management of Philippine Statistics Authority.

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 this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to our department Secretary. 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.

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).

Thank you.

Respectfully,
Kristel Merle
FOI Officer
