One​ ​month​ ​to​ ​go​ ​for​ ​government​ ​agencies​ ​to​ ​upload​ ​FOI​ ​Manuals

Government agencies have one month to comply before the validation process on the eligibility​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Performance-Based​ ​Bonus​ ​(PBB)​ ​officially​ ​starts.

Agencies must upload their Freedom of Information (FOI) People’s Manuals to their respective Transparency Seal pages on or before 1 October 2017. This is a part of a new requirement under the 2017 guidelines for the criteria and conditions for the grant of​ ​the​ ​PBB.

The inclusion of the FOI criteria was an initiative of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on the Harmonization of National Government Performance Monitoring, Information and Reporting​ ​Systems​ ​or​ ​Task​ ​Force​ ​AO​ ​25.

The Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) issued a memorandum circular​ ​on​ ​the​ ​validation​ ​process.

Each agency shall send a letter to the PCOO requesting for a validation of their compliance. Once confirmed, the PCOO will then issue a Compliance Certificate signed by the FOI Program Director. This certificate will serve as the official document that will be​ ​submitted​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Task​ ​Force​ ​AO​ ​25.

Deadline for the validation request letter is at 12:00 midnight of 1 October 2017, Sunday.​ ​###​ ​​PCOO-PLA
