3. The 14th Congress was punctuated by the investigation of the NBN-ZTE scandal and its cover-up. The President claimed executive privilege just when damaging testimony was to be given. Without legislation that could have defined the parameters of executive privilege, the Supreme Court upheld her on this untested doctrine. This was the low point for transparency and accountability in this government. The passage of the Freedom of Information Act will be a saving grace that would add to the merit side of this government’s scorecard when history judges it.
There are only three more session days before Congress adjourns for the campaign period. As this government draws its last breath, it would do them good to reflect on the words of John Newton’s evangelical hymn:
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind but now I see.
I join the “Right to Know. Right Now!” campaign in calling on Congress to ratify the Bicameral Conference Committee Report on the Freedom of Information bill and to transmit it to the President for approval.
