Good day!

I would like to request for data on cases of OFW abuses and deaths over the last 10 years. I would appreciate if it is in excel file but any file format available would do.

Dear Ms. Bautista,

We refer to our letter of May 10 04:54: PM; about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for cases of OFW abuse and deaths over the last 10 years.

Our response to your request is due on May 31, 2018 04:20 PM. Unfortunately the DFA office that handles OFW–related statistics is taking longer than expected to deal with your request, as it is updating its database to reflect current figures from our Embassies and Consulates General abroad. 

We apologize for this delay, but have applied for an extension so we could work further on your request. 

We would like to note, however, that the data that we will be providing you only cover the period of 2015 onwards. 

We hope to be able to send you a response on or before July 02, 2018 04:20: PM. Should you have any questions regarding your request, kindly contact us using the reply function on the eFOI portal.

Thank you for your understanding.

Respectfully,
