The Right to Know. Right Now! network will hold a coordination meeting on January 7 to plan for the upcoming bicameral conference on the Freedom of Information bill which was passed in the Senate last December 13.
The Congress is currently in recess and will resume its session on January 18. We hope that the FOI bill will be one of its priority agenda given the short timeframe left before the election campaign period on the 2nd week of February.
The Senate will be represented by Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri and Sen. Pia Cayetano in the bicameral conference. The House of Representatives has yet to name its delegates and we hope that they will do this as soon as it resumes session.
We also urge the HOR to adopt the Senate version of the bill because we strongly support it and to also expedite the process of passing it.
Any support to the advocacy especially at the HOR will be very much appreciated. Kindly contact us at 09228266775 for any of these.
