MANILA, Philippines – Filipinos who want to play a more active role in shaping the country will be given the chance to chime in and have their ideas taken into account in refining the Crowdsourcing Act of 2013.
Sen Teofisto “TG” Guingona III will be opening up the Crowdsourcing Act of 2013 to the public. The bill, which was previously filed in October 2012 during the 15th Congress, lets Internet users participate in lawmaking by being part of the initial public consultations or debates prior to the bill’s approval.
Beginning 8:00 am of August 7, visitors to The Guingona Project website can leave comments regarding the bill they will put up there. Users will likely want to comment with their names included, as Sen Guingona earlier stated he prefers commenters to leave their names to “ensure accountability, especially if we have questions about your posting.” The crowdsourcing of comments for the bill will end on noon of August 21.
Those interested in the crowdsourcing bill can also keep tabs on the process by following the @tgguingona Twitter account, tweeting using #CrowdsourcePH, or by following the senator’s Facebook page.
