Dear Ms. Genova,

Thank you for your request dated Nov 02, 2023 11:05:05 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for the GAA for FYs 1987-2006.

 

Response to Request

Your FOI request is approved. Here is the link to the digital copies of the GAA from 1987-1993, 1995-2005: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Mh1fH7eYKiCOpH3p6oqxp2fE8QHaGXh5?usp=sharing.

Please note that the national budgets for FYs 2001, 2004, and 2006 are reenacted, hence no GAA was released for the said years.

The full copy of the 1994 GAA is scheduled for scanning. However, the DBM Librarians have scanned the portions that you need – Department of Education and State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) - which are included in the link provided above. 

 If you need further assistance, you may visit the DBM Library located at Arcache Building, General Solano Street, San Miguel, Manila.
