Dear Juan,
 
Greetings!
 
Thank you for your request dated 14 November 2019 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
 
Your request
 
You asked for the personnel complement of DND/AFP
 
Response to your request
 
Please be informed that our aim is to provide information whenever possible. However, in this instance, we are unable to provide the information you have requested because of the exception under Section 2 of the List of Exceptions to Executive Order No. 2 s. 2016 applies to the said document. The said section provides for the exception to the right to access to privileged information relating to national security, defense or international relations. In particular, access cannot be granted since the said contract is covered by the “security” provision wherein disclosure is prohibited. Furthermore, we suggest you to resubmit your request through the AFP’s eFOI Portal https://www.foi.gov.ph/requests/new?agency=AFP, as the information regarding the AFP’s personnel complement does not fall under the purview of the DND.
