"That rendering, however, raises the issue of freedom of information. The President is right; understanding and examining information are crucial to any transparent and accountable use of government funds. The question is: Who will present that information, and in full? … To monitor, examine, or understand government spending in full, the citizens on whose cooperation the President relies need to be able to access any information they need—not just the information “presented” by the DBM, however “full,” but every bit or byte of government data that does not fall under protected forms of privileged communication or confidential information… That’s a good thing, and reason enough for the Aquino administration to finally make good on a fundamental campaign promise and pass a law guaranteeing freedom of information."
