FREEDOM OF INFORMATION: Sen. Grace Poe, chair of the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media, leads the second public hearing on the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill Thursday, Sept. 29. “For FOI to be effective, citizens must have access to what experts call "actionable data," one that is immediately usable or which can be used to intervene on an urgent concern,” Poe said at the start of the hearing.
