CIBAC: Approve freedom of info bill
Tuesday, 09 February 2010

“It’s a bill that enables the Filipino people, citizens of a democratic society, to access information on government dealings and transactions. This is basic right to information and freedom of expression, this is a right, not a privilege,” [CIBAC party list Rep. Chona] Gonzales explained. 

CITIZENS Battle Against Corruption Rep. Chona Cruz-Gonzales yesterday hit the failure of the House of Representatives to ratify the Freedom of Information Bill (FOI) as it adjourned session last Wednesday to give way for the national campaign. Gonzales, one of the principal proponents of the measure, lamented that the absence of quorum was the culprit behind the virtual death of FOI which would provide citizens with an enabling law that gives flesh to their right enshrined in the Constitution to have easy access to information being held by the government.

She believes that miracles would save FOI from the grave when Congress resumes session on May 31 to June 2 for the canvassing of votes for presidential and vice presidential candidates before the 14th Congress goes on sine die adjournment.

"She is really emptying her cup as far as respect from the people is concerned. In her last few months, she continues to do things that divide the country, even taunting the Supreme Court which diminishes the credibility of the institution. She will truly go down history as the divisiveness president," he [Rep. Joel Villanueva] said. 

THE Supreme Court will not issue a ruling stopping the Judicial and Bar Council from submitting a shortlist of candidates for the next chief justice to President Arroyo, unless a petition is filed. Chief Justice Reynato Puno said on Friday the high court cannot motu proprio step into the proceedings being conducted by the eight-man council, which screens nominees to the President for vacant judicial posts, unless a case is filed before it.

On DOH's condom distribution

Though I am not per se against distribution to prevent the spread of HIV, it must be emphasized that such is a palliative and unsustainable measure! The issue is promiscuity and deteriorating values which our educational system and major religious institutions have failed to address. Furthermore, a corrupt government like this administration is doomed to fail to inculcate proper morals & values to our citizens (Rep. Villanueva).
