WHEREAS, the government has numerous
policies and programs that are aimed at improving the quality of life
of the people and ensuring the growth of the nation as a whole;
WHEREAS, these policies and programs, including the accomplishments and
performance, of the various agencies of the government are not being

public of the significant policies, programs and objectives of the
various departments and agencies of the government in order to bring

active role in the formulation and implementation of other policies and
programs that affect them;
WHEREAS, the task of communicating the government’s various policies,
programs and objectives, including their accomplishments and
performance, is a responsibility of all departments and agencies of the
government, particularly in their respective jurisdictions;
WHEREAS, government-owned and controlled corporations, financial
institutions and other government instrumentalities should likewise
contribute in informing the people of their own programs, policies and
objectives;
WHEREAS, the task of communicating the government’s programs need not
be costly in view of the government’s various media outlets and
stations at its disposal;
