Freedom of Information (FOI) pinagtatagal para hindi

sila tamaan?
Matagal ko ng narinig ang FOI Bill na iyan. Pero hangang ngayon ay wala
pang naipapasang batas na Freedom, of Information (FOI). Bakit kaya? Dahil
kaya silang mga magpapatibay at magpaptupad ng Batas na ito ang siyang
unang masasagasaan ng Bill na ito kung sakaling maging batas?

Malamang kung ang FOI na iyan ay nangangahulugan ng “FREEDOM OF

INCOME” malamang pasado na iyan at nagkukumahog ang mga politiko na
maipasa na iyan kahit sila ay nakapikit.

Isa sa provision ng naturang panukalang batas ay…

Sec. 6. Access to Information. – Government agencies shall make available to the public
for scrutiny, copying and reproduction in the manner provided by this Act, all
information pertaining to official acts, transactions or decisions, as well as government
research data used as basis for policy development, regardless of their physical form or
format in which they are contained and by whom they were made. “Freedom of
Information Act of 2010”

Naku, delikado marami pa naman ang makukulit at tsismosa at maaaring

pagkwentohan araw araw ang matutuklasan, marami ding pakialamerong
Pilipino na tiyak na hindi patutulugin ang sinumang matukalasan na may
anumalya sa pamamagitan ng FOI na ito.

Sec. 14. Mandatory Disclosure of Transactions Involving Public Interest. – (a) Subject
to Sections 7 and 8 of this Act, all government agencies shall upload on their websites,
which shall be regularly updated every fifteen (15) days, all the steps, negotiations and
key government positions pertaining to definite propositions of the government, as well
as the contents of the contract, agreement or treaty in the following transactions
involving public interest: “Freedom of Information Act of 2010”

Ayon at kailangan pala ilagay sa website ang mga bagay-bagay na ginagawa

ng gobyerno. Batay sarado sigurado ang kanilang mga gawain at kung may
magkamali madaling malaman at tugisin. Kung hindi man tugisin baka madali
sila ng tinatawag na cyber bully katulad ng nangyari kay Sen. Sotto.

Sana nga maipasa na ang FOI na ito, para magkaalaman na kung sino at
sinu-sino. Freedom of Information is EMPOWERING THE PEOPLE. FOI
IS DETERRENT IN COMMITTING CORRUPTION.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (FOI), pagtibayin na! NOW NA…!

*****

The hidden reason the Freedom of Information bill cannot pass is the same
reason the Palace will not push it. It reaches too far down to the local
government level where a lot of the wheeling, dealing and stealing are going
on; but also where all the votes are to be gotten.
