It’s not really out of the woods…but at least it’s going somewhere.
On Monday, Mar 10, the Senate on Monday passed the Freedom of Information (FOI) Bill on third and final reading.
“All 21 senators present voted for the approval of Senate Bill no. 1733 or the People’s Freedom of Information Act of 2013,’ reports Inquirer.net.
However, as the report noted, “the FOI bill still has a long way to go before it is passed into law since its counterpart version in the House of Representatives remains stalled at the committee level.”
In other words, we shouldn’t get too excited yet.
