Presidential Communication Operations Office or PCOO secretary Martin Andanar recently urged the Congress to pass the FOI Bill or the Freedom Of Information Bill before the President Duterte term or administration ends which mandates full disclosure of official public records of offices under the Executive Branches; all branches of the government down to the local government units or LGUs.
He said government officials owe it to the Filipino people to have an “all-encompassing” Freedom of Information (FOI) bill in the country.
The bill aims to promote transparency and accountability in the government and its branches including the office of the President.
