Department of Budget and Management Secretary Amenah Pangandaman said that the agency is committed to open governance after the Philippines fell eight places in an international budget transparency survey for 2021. | JMangaluzINQ
“It is vital that we realize that open government does not only benefit the system, rather its advantage cascades to different sectors of society. It creates more stable conditions to incentivize investments from the private sector, sets the stage for ensuring public trust, and strengthens the country’s democratic institution’s principles,” Pangandaman stated.
These comments from the DBM came during the 2021 OBS Public Forum, where the results were presented. Present during the forum was Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry President George Barcelon, who emphasized the importance of budget transparency. “Every local government official should take it upon themselves that people may not be complaining, but they have to look at their systems, and the quality of the process must be reviewed. And if they can reduce the time in helping the private sector and establishments file their papers, that would be a big help,” said Barcelon.
