Dear John Edward Hernandez,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Nov 07, 2023 07:56:13 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for List of cooperatives in Batangas Province that's been shutdown due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Response to Request

This office has lack of basis or no records on a list of cooperatives in Batangas province that's been shut down due to COVID-19 pandemic. We cannot assume that non-submission of an annual report is equal to shut down due to COVID-19.

Further, the annual reports submitted by the cooperatives do not provide such data though it might have been or exists but there is no proof or details on such reports.
