MANILA, Philippines — If elected president, Vice President Leni Robredo said she will certify as urgent two measures to promote transparency in government, a move that might make the bills pass through Congress that has previously stalled on these proposals.

 

Robredo is pushing for the full disclosure of all government transactions without prior requests and for the enactment of a Freedom of Information bill that would allow citizens access to information from the government.

 

The vice president committed to certify these bills as urgent after being asked by veteran journalist Ed Lingao during the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas’ presidential forum how she plans to push bills for more government transparency, when these were not even passed when her party, the Liberal Party, was dominant.
