Your request

You asked for Demand Letter to the Heirs of Ferdinand Marcos Sr..

In Response to your request, after careful consideration, we resolve to deny it due to the following reason/s:
1. That it Lacks Specificity under Sec. 13.3 of the Standard  Procedure for FOI Request; and 
2. Section 270 of the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, as amended, identifies the "unlawful divulgence" rule wherein personnel of the Bureau cannot divulge information obtained from the taxpayer's business, income or estate as well as the secrets, operations, style or work or apparatus of any manufacturer or producer, or confidential information regarding the business of the taxpayer.

For your information and guidance.

Thank you.

Respectfully,
