The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) has earned recognition for championing the freedom of information (FOI) best manifested by its high rate of response to requests for information from the public.
The NTC was named Top Requested and Performing Agency in the eFOI Portal by the Presidential Communications Office with 500 up to 999 requests and with at least 90 percent closed transactions.
This is the sixth year in a series that the NTC had been so recognized by the PCO and its FOI program.
The award was received by Deputy Commissioner Alvin Bernard Blanco and FOI Officer Divina N. Daquioag on behalf of the NTC.
Upon accepting the award, Blanco vowed the agency, through its FOI Officers’ daily intervention in the FOI portal and standard platform, will continue to abide by the principles of the FOI Program.
He added the NTC constantly strives to render transparent, fast and reliable public service to the Filipino people.
The FOI Awards is an annual celebration dedicated to FOI partners, program implementors, and stakeholders who have contributed to the FOI program’s implementation and advancement.
