​​PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY GOOD GOVERNANCE

​

19. Right to information BILL

•  Although stated in the Constitution, there is no law which provides clear operationalization of the public’s right to information. Access to government documents should be guaranteed to promote transparency in governance. Congress should pass right to Information bill which will identify transparency indicators and data protection measures. The law should also include accountability of public officials who lost or damage vital public documents.

20. Voters’ education

•  There is low participation rate among voters and very low value accorded by the people to the whole electoral exercise. It is the mandate of the Commission on Elections to educate voters and the general public on responsible voting. Government should strengthen voters’ education since it is a major component of democracy institution-building.​

21.  Political party reform​
- Political Parties Reform Bill that would institutionalize reforms in electoral campaign financing, promote fairness and transparency among candidates, and reduce opportunities for graft and corruption. Political parties should be  mandated to craft a clear policy agenda and program of governance consistent with their party philosophy and ideals. Each party should also be required to formulate a system on nomination and selection of candidates, in which all party members are involved. Also strict regulation of election campaign expenses and imposing sanctions against political turncoats.​​

22.  Amend party-list law

• Party-list groups established by dominant political parties, government agencies, local politicians and big business were among the groups accredited by the Commission on Elections. Proliferation of fake party-list groups distorts essence of the Party-list Law. The law should be amended to improve criteria and process of confirmation or accreditation of party-list applicants. Congress should also replace the formula of determining the number of party-list groups entitled to have representation in the Lower House. If the intent of the Constitution is to be adhered, then 20 percent of Lower House membership should be reserved for party-list groups. The public also needs to be adequately informed on the importance of the party list system.

23.  Citizen’s charter

• There is lack of transparency in deals and transactions involving Local Government Units. Transparency is mandatory according to the Local Government Code. A Citizen’s charter can promote transparency in governance and greater participation of residents in local public affairs.

24.  Adopting government report card system​
- Basis of government agency performance is unclear. Existing administrative mechanism to appraise performance of agencies is inadequate. There is non-implementation of accountability mechanism for government agencies. A Government Report Card System will identify minimum indicators of efficiency of government offices. The indicators will be defined by various sectors.​
