Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to request your assistance to provide the following:
1. Total number of refugees with country of origin in the Philippines from 2020 to present - those granted asylum or not. I just need the total number.
2. Specific locations of refugee camps in the country, if any. If none, concentrated locations of refugees is okay.
Truly grateful for your continued service during this difficult time of pandemic.
Sincerely,
Faye Santiago

Dear Faye Santiago,
Greetings!
Your request is partially approved. The information available in this Department's database is updated as of 31 December 2020. As to the data after said date, this Department has yet to collate such. Hereunder are the data which this Department can readily furnish you:
1. 718 refugees (number of approved applications for refugee status);
2. 414 asylum seekers (number of applications filed);
3. There are no concentration camps for refugees. 60% of persons of concern (POCs) (either refugees or stateless persons) reside in Metro Manila. The top three (3) regions (National Capital Region, CALABARZON, and Central Luzon) house 80% of POCs.
Thank you.
