The Right to Know, Right Now! is a network of organizations, coalitions and individuals from various sectors. Among its ranks are public-interest groups, environmental protection advocates, independent media groups, print and broadcast journalists, farmers organizations and support groups, women’s organizations, private and public sector labor unions, migrant workers, businessmen, lawyers, academic institutions, student and youth organizations, and concerned individuals. They come together to make the urgent call for the passage of the Freedom of Information Act.

The FOI law will provide much needed substantive and procedural details that will make fully operational the Constitutional rights of the people to information and the state policy of full public disclosure of all its transactions involving public interest.

In Mindanao, the Right to Know, Right Now! Mindanao has started a series of activities as the bill waited for its ratification in the 14th Congress which the Lower House failed to pass. For this present Congress, the network is all geared up to launch an intensive campaign particularly to reach out the Mindanao lawmakers to support the bill. Activities include community education, school-based forums, media work, signature campaign and dialogue. This page will be regularly updated as the campaign intensifies.

Right to Know. Right Now!
