A year after the Aquino administration impeached the Chief Justice for alleged misdeclaration of wealth, it has not taken steps to improve transparency in government

MANILA, Philippines – Exactly a year after Renato Corona was ousted as Chief Justice, has the government taken any major steps toward promoting transparency? 

Changes that reflect the lessons from the Corona trial have yet to be seen, netizens say.

Majority of the social media users believe that removing the chief magistrate on charges of misdeclared assets was unprecedented, but the government failed to put in place policy changes based on this. They cite the failure to pass the Freedom of Information Bill that will allow the public access to government records, including the assets lists of public officials.
