While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, however, please be informed that our office is constrained by rules under Sec.13.4. d Standard Procedure for FOI Request to wit:” d. If a requesting party is a natural person who is a member employee, affiliated with or related to a juridical entity, company, or organization, and the request is made not on behalf of such juridical entity, company, or organization but arises from such membership, affiliation or relation, such other sufficient proof of authority or affiliation;
For example, for an employee or member, a copy of the company or organization I.D., or for students, a copy of the valid school ID. and written indorsement of the supervising teacher/professor/ instructor; 

Also, the purpose of the request for information should  be specific or adequately and sufficiently described.
