The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) has asserted that public’s access to timely and relevant information is a basic right that empowers the people to make sound decisions.

CHR Commissioner Gwendolyn Pimentel-Gana also maintained that it allows them to actively participate in matters of governance “which is a crucial facet of a vibrant, working democracy’’.

She further noted that mass media “are active partners or agents in ensuring the enjoyment by all of this right’’. When the government restricts the role of media to perform its task, Pimentel-Gana said “not only does it create a chilling effect that stifles the voices of those who do not follow the State’s proclamations, it also violates every person’s human right to information’’.
