EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 100 - CREATING
THE PHILIPPINE INFORMATION AGENCY
WHEREAS,
there is a need for an agency in government with a means to communicate
with the people, in and in turn for the people to vigorously express
their opinions, views and beliefs to the President, and in the same
manner, a need for efficient flow public information required by the
people to assist them in decision making to improve overall quality of
life;
WHEREAS, the media reach in the country is solely limited to a small
portion of the population concentrated and certain keys cities, thereby
limiting access of people to information;
WHEREAS, the government in the partnership with private media, can
better meet the information needs of the people;
WHEREAS, the public has a right to information and an agency should
ensure that they have access to information;
WHEREAS, basic information prior to February, 1986, focused more on the
molding of public opinion toward the unquestioning acceptance of
government thinking and that the flow of communication was
predominantly one-way, from government to the people;
WHEREAS, before little distinction was made between political and
development oriented public information, hence resources for public
information were often used for political purposes. In most instance,
political information and/or political propaganda crowded/out
development oriented public information;
WHEREAS, a) there were no regular nationwide outlets where citizens
could obtain government publications and material, i.e. brochures,
pamphlets; b) interministry coordination of public information efforts
was not effective due to lack of appropriate mechanisms; c) people’s
participation in the planning and conduct of information programs was
not encouraged;
WHEREAS, the manipulative nature of government information leads to
deterioration of its credibility even of its public information
officers concerned with development oriented information;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, CORAZON, AQUINO, President of the Republic of the
Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the fundamental
laws and the sovereign will of the people, do hereby order the
