Dear David Shaun Tiu,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Sep 11, 2023 11:05:50 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for Number of OFWs hailing from Province of Cebu.

Response to Request

We were able to determine that this particular information is already available online and, therefore cannot be counted as a valid FOI request. You may retrieve your requested information from https://cfo.gov.ph/statistics-2/, but I am also enclosing a copy of the file here. Please take note that the CFO registers emigrants or those permanently migrating out of the country. If your request is for OFWs, then that data may be requested from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA; now the Department of Migrant Workers). The CFO also does not have disaggregated data as of the moment.

Your right to request a review

If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to Secretary Romulo V. Arugay at info@cfo.gov.ph. 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).

Moreover, the CFO is committed to providing quality programs and services to its clients and partners. In line with our commitment to continuous improvement, may we invite you to fill out online a brief feedback form through the link below. Your feedback is highly appreciated and will help us to improve our ability to serve the public. Thank you very much.
