Under Executive Order No. 2, s. 2016, it provides for the guidelines on full public disclosure and transparency in the public service which covers only access to information, official records, public records, and to documents and papers pertaining to official acts, transactions or decisions, as well as to government research data used as basis for policy development.

In this regard, complaints and request for clarification on data privacy violation should follow the guidelines provided in the citizen’s charter of our agency, which you may access here: https://www.privacy.gov.ph/citizens-charter/filing-a-complaint/
