18 January 2012 – The Makati Business Club wishes to make the following statements on the on-going Corona impeachment process:
1. MBC has been most supportive of and will continue to support the resolve of the Aquino Administration to tread the straight and narrow path of the “daang matuwid” and bring to justice those responsible for corruption, electoral fraud and human rights violations and end the impunity that characterized the previous administration.
Press StatementsMBC lauds the push for the passage of the freedom of informaton bill
13 January 2012 – The Makati Business Club applauds the pronouncement of Malacañang that President Benigno S. Aquino III has approved the Administration’s version of the freedom of information (FOI) bill. The measure guarantees the constitutional provisions on citizens’ right to information and the state policy of full public disclosure of all government transactions on matters of public concern.
MBC believes that the passage of the FOI law is an indispensable element of the Aquino administration’s commitment to the “daang matuwid.” As a pillar of good governance, it will institutionalize transparency and accountability in government not only under this administration but also beyond it.
