Abstract/Summary
Although there is a Constitutional Provision on the Right to Public Information, there is no clear-cut procedure that prescribes it scope and limitations making it susceptible to misuse and abuse. These included legislative executive disputes such as executive privilege being cited during legislative inquiries. The long and tedious process for citizen to acquire information is also a big limitation that hinders the full utilization of the right. This research aims to determine the need for a Freedom of Information Act to supplement this right. Using jurisprudence and statutes, the researchers determined the condition regarding these matters. Also, this research presents data utilized from legal journals, global surveys on the topic and international models on FOI implicating the effectiveness of having a supplementary law on the Right to Public Information.
