Thank you for your request dated Aug 07, 2023 02:34:57 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch your request to clear your name from the OFW Watchlist. BE CORRECTLY INFORMED that only the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) is the lone government agency that is authorized to clear the names of OFWs, Philippine Recruitment Agencies, Foreign Placement Agencies and Employers. You have to coordinate closely with the DMW for requirements and procedures in lifting the blacklist. If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to Administrator Arnel A. Ignacio with e-mail address at [email protected]. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response, and should be made within 15 calendar days from the date when you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within 30 calendar days from the date when we receive your review request. If you are not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011). Thank you. Respectfully, Ma. Cynthia D. Erum OWWA-FOI Receiving Officer
