The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides "The right of the people to information on matters of public concern shall be recognized. Access to official records, and to documents and papers pertaining to official acts, transactions, or decisions, as well as to government research data used as basis for policy development, shall be afforded the citizen, subject to such limitations as may be provided by law." In the hype of the discovery of the pork barrel scam and the billions of public funds which allegedly went straight to the pockets of politicians and conspiring individuals,there is indeed a need to PUSH for the enactment of the Freedom of Information bill, to specifically pud into a statute this fundamental right. If you are one with me in this heed for transparency hereon. Pls do sign the petition and be counted.
