Following the refusal of Malacañang to release President Rodrigo Duterte’s SALN, an administration lawmaker has revived calls for Congress to pass a freedom of information law. | deejayapINQ

“Coverage of these other government instrumentalities can only be done by an act of Congress,” Vargas said.

Vargas said he was referring to a “machine readable format, not JPEG and PDF files,” in making available all statistical data on budgets, appropriations, contracts and the like. Early in his administration, Duterte sought to institute FOI as official policy through EO No. 2, with the launch of an electronic portal that would process FOI requests by the public.

deejayapINQ Sarap ni Vargas!

deejayapINQ Do you really want to see du30’s saln? Go to the Davao library!

deejayapINQ Anything to support transparency, yes to that. Ninanakawan na tayo ng garapalan eh.

deejayapINQ Go! FOI, para ma weaken yung EO.

deejayapINQ Kidding aside, or transparency put on the side!

deejayapINQ Good luck kung makakuha ka ng SALN ni D30.

deejayapINQ SALSAL pa More!

deejayapINQ Congressman namin yan!

deejayapINQ REFUSAL? That's the wrong term! Panelo explained it to the media that the Ombudsman will release it and not the president's office. How hard is that to understand?

deejayapINQ Galaw galaw na wag puro ngawa sa socmed. Binabayaran kayo ng kumpanya nyo to do your job, or maybe binabayaran kayo to do the other way around?🤔

deejayapINQ Refusal talaga? Wow ha

deejayapINQ is dumbing down and hiring the worst journalists. That’s hiw credibilty has gone down in MSM.

deejayapINQ Now. This is intended to mislead people. Why domt yoi go thru right channels?

deejayapINQ Stupid. Asking the SALN at the palace is like asking a bill for jollibee at a mcdo branch. Dont push the story of SALN again. It does not work and it makes you look like amatuers. The ombudsman would gladly entertain your stupidity.

deejayapINQ Hay Naku, wala ng mga i issue.

deejayapINQ Be sure of what your Saying Inquired. People are counting the nmber of fake news your spreading so that we can start applying HB6022 on you and its piling up.

deejayapINQ The end of the print edition of Inquirer is coming sooner with this kind of reporting! Soon, it will be like rapplerdotcom, an online propaganda machine that has limited local following!

deejayapINQ Fake news. Malacañang said you can get it from the Ombudsman.

deejayapINQ yeah right! pumunta kayo dun sa ombudsman para makakuha nyo ng kopyua ng SALN ni PRRD, ang sisipag sa chismis at gaslighting pero ang tatamad punta para makaretrieve ng kopya.

deejayapINQ Magandang panukala yan kaya lang malamang na hindi makalusot yan sa Committee level pa lang. Kung sakaling pumasa yan sa Committee, hindi yan papasa sa chamber. Alam naman natin na punas pwet ang mga taga HOR lalo na yung Speaker kay Duterte 😂😁

deejayapINQ Inquirer - tanga o bobo lang kayo! dabi ni Panelo sa press-con sa Ombudsman pwede humingi ng kopya. salsal lang ng fake news kayo. di pa kayo magsara!

deejayapINQ Sabi ng mga DDS nasa ombudsman na daw SALN at pwede makakuha ng copy anytime. Sige please try nyo kumuha

deejayapINQ Fake news.

deejayapINQ I wonder what is the implication of using AlfredVargasPH photo on your unremarkable negative news about an alleged 'refusal of Malacanang' after being named 10 most outstanding TOYM 2019. You are yet spinning out something that isn't there.

deejayapINQ Refusal? Gee whiz... Even my cat could find PRRDs SALN himself. Get real!!?

deejayapINQ What is confusing is that some mayors and other public servants have shown an increase of 400 - 500% increase in their wealth (according to the media) but still no investigation on they became so flithy rich. So what is the point of the SALN if they can declare what they want.

deejayapINQ Why refuse? Is there anything in the SALN that needs to be hidden? Remember that you are not above the law. You need to conform and abide with the rules just like us. You are just showing us people your true colors. Shame on you!

deejayapINQ FOI is working. Go to the website

deejayapINQ Refuse? The Palace already told you his SALN is with the Ombudsman. Surely, you can get it from that office if you requested.

deejayapINQ & we also need to know the truth abt his health!
