Dear colleagues in the National Government, We humbly ask your assistance in providing us with the LATEST DATA on the number of licensed medical and allied health professionals, regardless of their position or designation, who are employed by your respective agency/office. Kindly disaggregate your data according to current position, gender, age, and profession (doctor, nurse, midwife, medtech, psychologist, psychometrician, social worker, among others). This information will be used to address the current challenges on Philippine health workforce. Thank you very much.
25 July 2023 Dear Ms. Manuel: Thank you for your request dated 14 July 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for information on the number of licensed medical and allied health professionals employed in the OP-PMS. We received your request on 14 July 2023 and will respond on or before 04 August 2023, in accordance with the Executive Order's implementing rules and regulations. Should you have any questions regarding your request, kindly contact me using the reply function on the eFOI portal at https://www.foi.gov.ph/requests/aglzfmVmb2ktcGhyHQsSB0NvbnRlbnQiEFBNUy05MTY4NTA4NTYzODkM, for request with ticket number #PMS-916850856389.

21 July 2023 Ms. Kaycee G. Manuel Sta. Cruz, Manila Dear Ms. Manuel: This refers to your request for information on the number of licensed medical and allied health professionals employed in the Office of the President-Presidential Management Staff (OP-PMS), which we received through the eFOI Portal on 14 July 2023. Upon review, your request does not fall within the purview of Executive Order no. 02, s. 2016, in line with Section 7, Article III of the Constitution, which guarantees the right of the people to information on matters of public concern. As such, the OP-PMS cannot favorably act on your request specifically under the FOI Program. Nonetheless, since your request, being official in nature, apparently involves a Department of Health (DOH) data-gathering initiative, you may instead course it through official channels, i.e., through a formal correspondence from the DOH addressed to the Senior Undersecretary and Head, PMS. Should you have further questions regarding the matter, kindly contact us using the reply function of the eFOI portal https://www.foi.gov.ph/requests citing tracking no. #PMS-916850856389, as reference. Further, we would highly appreciate receiving your feedback on how we can improve your FOI experience via the provided FOI Request Feedback Form (google form) at https://bit.ly/3yy8ncp. Thank you. Very truly yours, PAUL ANTHONY M. PANGILINAN OP-PMS FOI Decision Maker and Assistant Secretary, Administrative Services
