Transparency Seal

Unveiling Government Information

Imagine a pearl hidden within a tightly closed shell—it holds immense potential but offers no benefit. This is how the government views information that isn't shared with its citizens. Just as a pearl's true worth is realized when it's revealed, government information is a valuable resource meant to be shared publicly to unlock its full potential.

The Transparency Seal, symbolized by a shining pearl emerging from an open shell, represents a significant shift towards open access to government information. This initiative has a dual purpose:

• For Civil Servants: It aims to encourage Filipino civil servants to be more receptive to citizen engagement.

• For Citizens: It invites Filipinos to actively exercise their right to participate in governance.

Ultimately, this initiative is a crucial step towards strengthening the Philippines' reputation as the "Pearl of the Orient." By embracing democratic virtues and transparency, the nation aspires to become a leading example in the region.
