TENSION OF OPPOSITES
What we have found so far....
Demand
Supply

Data for whom?
“If they intend to inform
us, they should have
made efforts to let the
public know that these
data are available and
accessible.”
- Cecilia Hoffman
Convenor, GWAVE
“The data has always been
there for them when
they need it. It’s just that
its now available online.
But ever since, there is
always less interest in
using it.”
- Jocelyn Gongob
Provincial Planning and
Development Officer

Data in what form?
“We need to know how
our taxes are spent.
But the way the
reports are written
confuses us.”
- Fidela Morfe
Great Physician
Rehabilitation Center
“Our reports are written
in standard formats as
required by the
national government.”
- Teodorico Reyes
Provincial Accountant

What is the intention?
“While they publish
invitation to bid
documents, it seems,
sometimes, that the
winning supplier is
already
predetermined.”
- Roy Cang
Owner, Cang’s Supermarket
and Bethel Guest House
“We made our
procurement system
transparent through
the PhilGEPS.”
- Wilma Padilla
Bids and Awards
Committee Secretariat

Is it the truth?
“How can we be sure that
what they upload
reflects the real story?
How can we be sure
that they do not omit
the objectionable?”
- Leo Mamicpic
President, FENOR
“These are audited
reports. These are
verifiable documents.
These are all public.
Our office is at stake if
we do not make it
right.”
- Marichu Alpuerto
Provincial Budget Officer

QUESTIONS?
Many thanks.
