Question on N.I.C.A.'s Pronunciation

Requested from NICA by J. Tumang at 01:31 PM on Oct 27, 2023.
Purpose: Answering a Question I've Had Since Reading "N.I.C.A." in 2017 News Articles on I.S.'s Marawi Siege

Given that the agency isn't as well-known (which is probably good for an spy agency 😏), its name & abbreviation aren't mentioned often, so how to refer to the agency also doesn't seem to be common knowledge. That said, could it be disclosed as to how "N.I.C.A." is properly pronounced: "NEE-kah", "NAY-kah","EN-ay-see-ey", or something else? Thanks!

Dear Jose-Mari Tumang,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Oct 27, 2023 01:31:30 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Question on N.I.C.A.'s Pronunciation.

Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the name of this Office can be pronounced the way on what is doable for you. But, the most important that it should be written in the right way such as: National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA).

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Manny de Castro
FOI Officer

Okay. Thanks, then! The best to you & your colleagues. Thanks for keeping the PH safe!
