Your request You asked for Request for Information on Palm Oil, Palm Olein, Including its Derivatives & Fractions. Response to your request While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance, this Office was unable to provide your request due to the fact that it is covered by Republic Act No. 10173, otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012. DPA is relevant insofar as the disclosure of personal information is concerned. This means that the data to be protected comes from natural persons not juridical persons such as corporations. Further, the request refers to disclosures of importation data that are considered confidential business information as stated under Republic Act No. 10667, otherwise known as the "Philippine Competition Act (PCA)," that confidential business information refers to information which concerns or relates to the operations, production, sales, shipments, purchases, transfers, identification of customers, inventories, or amount or source of any income, profits, losses, or expenditures of business entities. The disclosure of such information is subject to the approval of the importers and exporters. Thus, it is submitted that the Bureau may decline the request of information.
