Full disclosure policy is nice but not enough
Abstract
The Philippines is one of eight pioneering countries that founded the Open Government Partnership (2011). The partnership calls for greater availability of government information to the public as well as implementation of standards of transparency and accountability. This one-pager finds that while the Full Disclosure Policy made possible provision of information, it failed to acknowledge the awareness, interest, needs, and capabilities of its intended audience. Supplying information to the public is only meaningful when the information complies with the needs of citizens in a format that they are able to understand.
