Freedom to Know, Freedom to Interact: Participation Powered by ICT

For the last 8 years, the journey towards a genuine freedom of information (FOI) act has been an uphill climb. Seen as a continuing quest for good governance in Philippines, this journey has been characterized by a multitude of hindrances and challenges leading to questions regarding the true nature of Philippine democracy.
