INQUIRER: CBCP presses for FOI bill passage
The social action arm of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) is urging Congress to pass the freedom of information (FOI) bill before it goes on recess for the election campaign period even without the certification of urgency from President Aquino. In a statement, Bishop Broderick Pabillo, chairman of the CBCP National Secretariat for Social Action, also warned that candidates under Aquino's Liberal Party-led coalition might lose their credibility if the FOI bill remained merely as a "pie dream" for the Filipinos.
