Dear Kisha,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Jun 11, 2021 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Extradition Request Maria Kathrina Kathleen Maligro Mountney.

Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance upon further evaluation of your request, please be advised that such are recognized in international law as restricted and treated as confidential and privileged, and are as well included in the Inventory of Exceptions to Executive Order No. 2, the Order which operationalized the right to information. DFA, therefore, is constrained by law from issuing copies of the subject documents to the public.

Personal transactions cannot be interposed. The Freedom of Information (FOI) provides that “exceptions to the right of access to information” include the following:
Item 3. iv. – “Information concerning law enforcement and protection of public and personal safety: unjustifiably disclose investigative techniques and procedures”; and 
Item 4: “Information deemed confidential for the protection of the privacy of persons and certain individuals such as minors, victims of crimes, or the accused.”
