FOI is a government mechanism, which allows Filipino citizens to request any information about the government transactions and operations, provided that it shall not put into jeopardy privacy and matters of national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FOI mechanism for the Executive Branch is enabled via Executive Order No. 2, series of 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is eFOI&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>eFOI is the online FOI platform that is available to select agencies, providing an alternative avenue for Filipinos to file their requests for information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FOI rules and exceptions also apply to the eFOI platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is Executive Order No. 2 S. 2016?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Executive Order No. 2 (EO 2) is the enabling order for FOI. EO 2 operationalizes in the Executive Branch the People\u2019s Constitutional right to information. EO 2 also provides the State policies to full public disclosure and transparency in the public service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EO 2 is an important enabling mechanism to promote transparency in the government&#8217;s administrative process. Through FOI, citizens are empowered to make a formal request to get information held by the government, barring certain sensitive and important data related to the nation&#8217;s security. FOI complements continuing proactive information disclosure efforts where agencies are duty-bound to publish information in the spirit of openness and transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FOI is an integral element President Duterte\u2019s Good Governance Plan aligned to reforms and initiatives that pursue greater transparency, accountability, and citizen participation in governance. EO 2 was signed by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte on July 23, 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Download the FOI Request form here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mirrored.fpa-gov.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/FOI-REQUEST-FORM.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FOI Request form<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Download the FPA-FOI People&#8217;s Manual here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mirrored.fpa-gov.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Peoples-FOI-Manual.sgd_.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">People&#8217;s Manual<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Download the FPA-FOI Agency Manual\u00a0\u00a0here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mirrored.fpa-gov.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Agency-FOI-Manual.sgd_.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Agency Manual<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>For more information go to the eFOI Portal:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foi.gov.ph\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.foi.gov.ph\/<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>FPA-FOI One Page Manual: <a href=\"https:\/\/mirrored.fpa-gov.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ENGLISH-v1.png\">English<\/a><\/em> | <em><a href=\"https:\/\/mirrored.fpa-gov.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/TAGALOG.png\">Filipino<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Freedom of Information or FOI?
