This document discusses the status of proposed legislation on freedom of information (FOI) and free and open source software (FOSS) in the Philippines. It provides the following key points:
- President Duterte signed an executive order on FOI in July 2016, but it contains many exceptions to disclosure.
- There are two relevant bills in Congress - House Bill 334 which aims to strengthen FOI access, and House Bill 3612 which promotes FOSS use. Both bills are currently pending in committees.
- Advocates are urged to write letters and petitions in support of passing these bills into law to strengthen transparency and digital rights in the country. Public discussions and social media campaigns can also help build support

Hawaii Governor David Ige: "Effective citizen participation in state government requires timely access to information and appropriate opportunities for the public to provide its government with feedback and ideas. As part of this effort, I have already asked executive branch departments and agencies (“executive agencies”) to be accessible, hold community meetings throughout Hawaii, and work toward increasing community involvement in government affairs, including considering input from the public in decision-making."

The object of analysis in the present text is the issue of surveillance and data retention in Poland. The analysis of this issue follows from a critical stance taken by NGOs and state institutions on the scope of operational control wielded by the Polish police and special services – it concerns, in particular, the employment of " itemised phone bills and phone tapping. " Besides the quantitative analysis of surveillance and the scope of data retention, the text features the conclusions of the Human Rights Defender referred to the Constitutional Tri-bunal in 2011. It must be noted that the main problems concerned with the employment of surveillance and data retention are caused by: (1) a lack of specification of technical means which can be used by individual services; (2) a lack of specification of what kind of information and evidence is in question; (3) an open catalogue of information and evi-dence which can be clandestinely acquired in an operational mode. Furthermore, with re-gard to the access granted to teleinformation data by the Telecommunications Act, attention should be drawn to the wide array of data submitted to particular services. Also, the text draws on open interviews conducted mainly with former police officers with a view to highlighting some non-formal reasons for " phone tapping " in Poland. This comes in the form of a summary.
Republic Act 10173 Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA)
“An act protecting individual personal information in information and communications systems in the government and the private sector, creating for this purpose a National Privacy Commission, and for other purposes”
Parliament, Wednesday 14 February 2018 - On 6 February 2018, two days before the scheduled State of the Nation Address (SONA), the Presiding Officers of Parliament announced their decision to postpone the flagship event due to the serious circumstances within and outside the institution. They indicated, at the time, that the outcome of the thorough consultative process, including with the President of the Republic, the Leader of Government Business, the Chief Whip of the Majority Party and other key stakeholders, warranted the difficult decision of the SONA postponement until a conducive environment obtained.

In Section 4 of the EO--
“Access to information shall be denied

Constitution, existing law or
jurisprudence”
11. Some questionable exceptions

– Exceptions as general as “Such information, record or
document comprises drafts of decisions, orders, rulings,
policy decisions, memoranda, etc.”

prepare lists and detailed reports on how congressional
funds were disbursed”;

17. The key features of HB334
• rationalize the harsh exemptions provided
for in the 1989 Rules Implementing the Code
of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public
Officials and Employees (RA 6713)
promulgated by the Civil Service
Commission and to provide effective means
for redress of violations of the right
• absolute and mandatory access to matters
of official information, public concern and
public interest.
18. HB334 addresses the following
issues:
• elimination of hardly comprehensible
and excessively broad jargon of
exemptions to the exercise of the right
to official information
• simplify the limitations to “Except when
it is clear that the purpose of the
examination is to abet or promote or
commit crime or wrongdoing or to
engage in sheer and idle curiosity.”
20. 1. Official acts of public officers done in the pursuit of their
official functions;
2. Judicial or quasi-judicial decisions or orders as well as records
of court cases in whatever stage, and policy decisions of
public officers, boards, commissions or tribunals;
3. Transactions, contracts and agreements, whether the
government is a nominal or active contracting or counter-
party, including negotiations or definite propositions of the
government leading to the consummation of the transactions,
contracts and agreements;
4. Government research data used as basis for policy
development, enactment of statutes, rules and regulations,
and execution of transactions, contracts and agreements,
whether the government is a nominal or active contracting or
counter-party, including negotiations or definite propositions
of the government leading to the consummation of the
transactions, contracts and
agreements;
21. 5. Laws, policies, rules and procedure, work
programs, projects and performance
targets, performance reports;

documents of whatever nature or
character used as basis for applications,
reports or returns or other documents
regardless of nature or character
submitted to the government; and
8. All other information required by law to
be accessible to the public.
22. ANG HB334 AY PARA SA LAHAT
NG SANGAY NG GOBYERNO
NASAAN NA ITO NGAYON?
• House Committee on Public
Information
• 1st reading sa October 11, 2016, 930AM
24. AN ACT PROMOTING THE
DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF
FREE/OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE
(FOSS) IN THE PHILIPPINES,
AMENDING RA 8293 OTHERWISE
KNOWN AS THE 'INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY CODE OF THE
PHILIPPINES', PROVIDING
PENALTIES THEREOF, AND FOR
OTHER PURPOSES
25.
26. Unlike proprietary software, FOSS is
• cheap (in fact, most FOSS are distributed free to
the public by their own developers)
• flexible and development-friendly (FOSS source
codes are accessible to consumers who may
study, modify and customize the software)
• interoperable (FOSS adheres to open standards
and are meant to work across various platforms
and protocols), and
• safe (the opening of the source codes and the
use of open standards have allowed hundreds of
thousands of users around the globe to serve as a
virtual research and development team,
providing patches and solutions to bugs and
glitches in real time over the internet).
27. NASAAN NA ANG HOUSE
BILL 3612 NGAYON?
• Pending with the House Committee on
ICT since September 21, 2016
29. ANONG PWEDENG GAWIN?
• Patuloy na itutulak
ni Rep. Zarate at ng
BAYAN MUNA na
dinggin at maipasa
ang HB 334 (FOI) at
HB 3612 (FOSS)
• Pero kailangan ng
pagkilos ng FOSS
advocates at
freedom of
information fighters!
30. Kailangan maitulak ang mga
mababatas at si Pangulong
Duterte na aprubahan ang
FOI at FOSS
31. Ipakita natin ang nagkakaisang tinig para
sa kahalagahan ng mga panukalang batas

pagpasa ng batas sa FOI at FOSS.
Ipadala ang kopya ng petisyon sa
headquarters ng Bayan Muna o sa

34. Ipakita natin ang nagkakaisang
tinig para sa kahalagahan ng mga
panukalang batas na FOI at FOSS

talakayan para mas mapataas ang
pagkaunawa at pagkakaisa sa ating
laban para sa genuine FOI at FOSS
35. Ipakita natin ang nagkakaisang tinig para
sa kahalagahan ng mga panukalang batas
