Good day!

In relation to transparency, I would like to request for financial reports regarding Covid-19 related funds (the funds that Philippines owed and funds that were donated). I would like to know about how and where it was used. Thank you.

Dear Rachelle Tonelada,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated May 29, 2020 01:24:42 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for Covid-19 Related Funds.

Response to Request

Your FOI request is approved. 

To ensure the transparency and accountability of funds dedicated to COVID-19 programs and projects, the Executive submits a weekly report to Congress as prescribed by the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act, which can also be viewed in the Laging Handa PH website.  Likewise, the DBM regularly publishes on its website the status of releases for COVID-19 measures (https://www.dbm.gov.ph/index.php/programs-projects/status-of-covid-19-releases).

Please note that we are only able to provide some of the information you have requested for as the Department of Finance is in a better position to provide the information on the amount of loans borrowed from development partners  and grants received by the Philippine Government.

My apologies for the late reply. I encountered a problem in accessing the FOI dashboard and the matter was just resolved last October 15, 2020.

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 Wendel E. Avisado at osec@dbm.gov.ph/wea@dbm.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).

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Fiscal Planning and Reforms Bureau
FOI Receiving Officer
