Sonny Belmonte makes “killer promise” related to FOI

Let’s hope nobody takes him literally.

“In a press conference on Tuesday, Mar 11, Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. assured everyone that the House of Representatives will approve the Freedom of Information (FOI) Bill during the 16th Congress,” reports Louis Bacani on Philstar.com.

Belmonte said with a laugh, “Well, ang ipinangako ko during the 16th Congress. Bitayin ninyo ako kung matapos ito at hindi pa nakakapasa (I can promise it will be passed during the 16th Congress, You can hang me if it ends without it being passed.”
