AVAO CITY -- President Rodrigo Duterte signed Saturday a still unnumbered Executive Order on Freedom of Information (FOI), two days before delivering his first State of the Nation Address (SONA).

The EO “operationalizing in the executive branch the people’s constitutional right to information and the state policies of full public disclosure and transparency in the public service” was signed at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Presidential Communications and Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar said in a press conference at the Royal Mandaya Hotel Sunday morning. The Duterte EO covers only the executive branch and advocates for an FOI law are still pushing for its

passage to cover all branches of government. Andanar said the EO, finalized only on Saturday night, is expected to minimize if not eliminate corruption in the government offices under the Executive Branch. “Corruption will be lessened in this government especially in the Executive Department. The Freedom of Information gives us an unimaginable access to government information, access that we never had before. President Rodrigo R.Duterte will launch the 4.5 megawatt Biomass Renewable Energy Plant in the Municipality of Maguindanao with Agriculture Secretary Manny Pinol,Executive Vice President/Chief Operation Officer of Api Groups We expect this executive of Companies Chang Chee Kong & Maguindanao Governor Esmael ‘toto’ Magundadatu, July 22,2016.

Pimentel is elected Senate president; promises ‘fairness’ By Jelly F. Musico of PNA

MANILA – With two Mindanaoan senators -Aquilino ‘Koko’ Pimentel III and Juan Miguel Zubiri -- putting their unfortunate experience as bitter rivals behind, the former garnered a super majority vote that catapulted him to the Senate presidency on Monday. During the opening of the Senate’s first regular session of the 17th Congress, an overwhelming 20 senators elected Pimentel to replace Senate President Franklin Drilon.

Those who voted for Pimentel include: Senators Juan Edgardo ‘Sonny’ Angara, Paolo Benigno ‘Bam’ Aquino IV, Nancy Binay, Leila De Lima, Drilon, Joseph Victor Ejercito, Sherwin Gatchalian, Richard Gordon, Gregorio ‘Gringo’ Honasan II, Risa Hontiveros, Panfilo Lacson, Loren Legarda, Emmanuel ‘Manny’ Pacquiao, Francis ‘Kiko’ Pangilinan, Grace Poe, Vicente Sotto III, Cynthia Villar, Joel Villanueva, Zubiri and Ralph Recto.

Duterte expected to set up transitional justice commission on Bangsamoro DAVAO CITY – After a long wait, the National Transitional Justice and Reconciliation Commission on the Bangsamoro (NTJRCB) is expected to be finally set up under the administration of Rodrigo Roa Duterte, the President whose campaign promises included correcting historical injustices committed against the Bangsamoro people. Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Jesus Dureza told reporters during his visit at the Moro Islamic Liberation Front’s (MILF) Camp Darapanan on July 21 that the GPHMILF Implementing Team

composed of five members from the government and five from the MILF “will discuss this,” along with other issues, when they meet in Kuala Lumpur in early August. “Kasi yang transitional justice is actually a reference to the Bangsamoro.… the injustice committed and you have to address that,” he said, adding, “that’s the reason why we’re across the table.” Transitional justice, according to the United Nations, “emerged as part of a recognition that dealing with systematic or massive abuses requires a distinctive approach that is both
