President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday said he hopes the legislative and judicial branches would follow the executive branch’s move to craft a policy upholding freedom of information. President Rodrigo Duterte signed an executive order in July last year that demanded full disclosure of government records and transactions. According to the National Press Club of the Philippines (NPC), the largest organization of professional media practitioners in the country, media under the Duterte administration is a lot safer and that the government gives premium to transparency and accountability.
