Good day, 
Regarding the email on clarification, there are no details on it. How can I help clarify my request? 

Thank you!

Rodriguez 02:33 PM, May 16, 2023 

My request last time was denied so I contacted UPLB directly and they told me to request the information through this portal, hopefully the request will go through successfully.
Since the requested information is necessary for my master's thesis research, I have a letter of request signed by my thesis advisor. If it is necessary, I can provide the file here.

Thank you!
