Santiago 03:03 AM, May 25, 2018 

Hello, 

Other than a receiving a copy of the Coconut Productivity and Rehabilitation Agenda (COPRA) of the DA, I would also like information on the following: 

(1) WHO is qualified to get coconut hybrid seedlings in CALABARZON? What is the definition of a "qualified" farmer? 
(2) Is there a fund for farmers who receive these hybrid seedlings, so they can continue to plant and earn from their land as they wait for 4-5 years for the seedlings to blossom? 
(3) Where do these seedlings that are being distributed in CALABARZON come from?

Dear Katrina,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated May 25, 2018 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Coconut Productivity and Rehabilitation Agenda (COPRA).

Response to your request

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 Coconut Authority at 927-8116, or resubmit your request addressed to the correct agency on the eFOI portal at pca.ofad@yahoo.com or at http://pca.da.gov.ph/pdf/transparency2016/FOI-PEOPLES-MANUAL.pdf

Please bear with us as our agency is currently updating list of FOI Receiving Officers of all bureaus, attached agencies and corporations under us. Although, PCA was already part of DA. PCA was brought back by the president just recently and we still don't have access with their information dissemination. They already have their own FOI People's Manual which will help you fast track your request.

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

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,
