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 the information that may be requested under FOI is defined by Section 2 of the FOI Manual as:

“FOI REQUEST. A written request submitted to a government office personally or by email asking for records on any topic. An FOI request can generally be made by any Filipino to any government office.

INFORMATION. Shall mean any records, documents, papers, reports, letters, contracts, minutes and transcripts of official meetings, maps, books, photographs, data, research materials, films, sound and video recording, magnetic or other tapes, electronic data, computer stored data, any other like or similar data or materials recorded, stored or archived in whatever format, whether offline or online, which are made, received, or kept in or under the control and custody of any government office pursuant to law, executive order, and rules and regulations or in connection with the performance or transaction of official business by any government office.”

Since your request is not for any of these, we are unable to treat your request as an FOI Request.  You may wish to course your request for clarification through the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).


Thank you.
