2. Structure of the Manual: This Manual shall set out the rules and procedures to be

followed by the National Telecommunications Commission when a request for

access to information is received. The NTC Commissioner is responsible for all

actions carried out under this Manual and may delegate this responsibility to the

Deputy Commissioners of NTC. The NTC Commissioner may delegate a specific

3. Coverage of the Manual: The Manual shall cover all requests for information

directed to the National Telecommunications Commission Central Office, Regional

Offices and Satellite Offices.

4. FOI Receiving Officer: There shall be an FOI Receiving Officer (FRO) designated

public and staff with regard to FOI; compile statistical information as required;

and, conduct initial evaluation of the request and advise the requesting party

c. Regional Offices of NTC shall assign their respective FROs. (Annex “C”)


5 | P a g e

a. NTC does not have the information requested;

b. The information requested contains sensitive personal information protected by

the Data Privacy Act of 2012;

c. The information requested falls under the list of exceptions to FOI; or

d. The request is an unreasonable subsequent identical or substantially similar

request from the same requesting party whose request has already been

previously granted or denied by NTC.

6. Central Appeals and Review Committee: There shall be a central appeals and

review committee composed of three (3) officials with a rank not lower than Director

the NTC Head on the denial of such request.

the rank of a Director.

SECTION 2: DEFINITION OF TERMS

of interest to another office, it will ask for the views of that other agency on the

dissolvability of the records before any final determination is made. This process is called

“consultation”.

data.gov.ph. The Open Data website that serves as the government’s comprehensive

portal for all public government data that is searchable, understandable, and accessible.

eFOI.gov.ph. The website that serves as the government’s comprehensive FOI website

for all information on the FOI. Among many other features, eFOI.gov.ph provides a

central resource for the public to understand the FOI, to locate records that are already

available online, and to learn how to make a request for information that is not yet

publicly available. eFOI.gov.ph also promotes agency accountability for the

administration of the FOI by graphically displaying the detailed statistics contained in

Annual FOI Reports, so that they can be compared by agency and over time.


6 | P a g e

EXCEPTIONS. Information that should not be released and disclosed in response to a

FOI request because they are protected by the Constitution, laws or jurisprudence.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (FOI). The Executive Branch recognizes the right of the

people to information on matters of public concern and adopts and implements a policy of full public disclosure of all its transactions involving public interest, subject to the procedures and limitations provided in Executive Order No. 2. This right is indispensable to the exercise of the right of the people and their organizations to effective and reasonable participation at all levels of social, political and economic decision-making. FOI CONTACT. The name, address and phone number at each government office where

Info released in response to a FOI

request that the agency determines have become or are likely to become the subject of subsequent requests for substantially the same records. FULL DENIAL. When NTC cannot release any records in response to a FOI request,

response to a FOI request.

INFORMATION. Shall mean any records, documents, papers, reports, letters, contracts,

minutes and transcripts of official meetings, maps, books, photographs, data, research

order, and rules and regulations or in connection with the performance or transaction of

official business by any government office.

INFORMATION FOR DISCLOSURE. Information promoting the awareness and

understanding of policies, programs, activities, rules or revisions affecting the public,

7 | P a g e

of information can already be posted to government websites, such as data.gov.ph,

without need for written requests from the public.

MULTI-TRACK PROCESSING. A system that divides incoming FOI requests according

to their complexity so that simple requests requiring relatively minimal review are placed

OFFICIAL RECORD/S. Shall refer to information produced or received by a public officer
