Please be advised, that FoI does provide the public with the ability to obtain the requested information. Although DOLE has denied similar requests, the case law is clear that the requested documents should be disclosed. Freedom of Information (FoI) is a right enshrined in our fundamental law. It refers to the right of the people to information on matters of public concern. It is the right of every citizen to access official records, documents and papers pertaining to official acts, transactions or decisions, as well as to government research data used as basis for policy development (Sec. 7, Art. III, 1987 Constitution). This includes the public’s right to know the public officials’ and employees’ assets, liabilities, net worth and financial and business interests. If the documents can not be provided, please provide a clear reason as to why this request is denied - is there anything special or unique about the request? Or is DOLE trying to hide something?
