Sotto proposes 'People's Freedom of Information Act' to enhance transparency in govt

The proposed People’s Freedom of Information Act seeks to legally guarantee citizen access to government records concerning public matters. This legislation addresses the long-standing absence of a comprehensive legal framework for transparency in public administration. By codifying the right to information, the bill aims to enhance accountability and ensure that open data principles are legally enforceable.
