Dear ALBERT,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Aug 03, 2020 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for the status of your passport application 

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the information you are requesting, even if it is your personal credentials, falls under the inventory of exceptions to the right to access to information, and is confidential in nature. 

Section 4(a) of the Memorandum from the Executive Secretary on Executive Order No. 02 s. 2016 states that the following is exempted from FOI: 

“Information of a personal nature where disclosures would constitute or clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, personal information or records, including sensitive personal information, birth records, school records, or medical or health records…” 

The need to keep personal information inviolable is recognized in international law as well as in the Inventory of Exceptions to Executive Order No. 02. Therefore the DFA is constrained by law from looking into the subject pursuant to the above stated provisions. 

However, you may wish to contact the Office of Consular Affairs at (02) 8-836-7745 or (02) 8-836-7747 or by emailing them at passportconcerns@dfa.gov.ph / oca.concerns@dfa.gov.ph.
