PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Thursday espoused open governance, a concept wherein citizens have rights to access to information and participation in running the affairs of the state.
"May we see the grand opportunity we have today and use it to send a powerful message to the world: that open governance is fundamental to prosperity, to stability, and to security in a rapidly transforming world," Marcos said in his speech during the opening of the 2025 Open Government Partnership Asia and the Pacific Regional Meeting (OGP-APRM) in Taguig City.
