Newly-elected Imus City Mayor Alex Advincula signed his first executive order, which aims to improve transparency and public accountability in the city administration.

According to Advincula, this policy will be one of the first steps in strengthening government services and the responsibilities of all city officials and employees.

Under the new EO, all public documents of the city government of Imus will be publicly available and can be requested from the appropriate departments.

This also mandates all department heads to have electronic copies of all documents on hand and to submit them to the city information office.

The City Information Office will feature these records, including important and urgent documents, on its official online platforms.

“Kailangan ko po ng inyong kooperasyon, kapwa ko Imuseños. Kailangang po natin mag-umpisa ng pagbabago at magsakripisyo para sa mahal na lungsod ng Imus… Makakaasa po kayo na gagawin natin ang Imus na maayos at maginhawang lungsod,” Advincula said.

‘Senate proves flaw on PH democracy on Sara Duterte impeachment case’

The International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) Chairperson, Peter Murphy, has criticized the Philippine Senate's return of Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment articles to the House, calling it a "blot on Philippine democracy." Murphy highlighted concerns over trial delays and potential cancellation, emphasizing the well-founded nature of the impeachment grounds, which include misuse of funds, unexplained wealth, and betrayal of public trust. He noted strong public and institutional support for the trial's continuation, urging the Senate to uphold its constitutional duty amidst protests. Murphy also called on the international community to uphold democratic standards and cease military aid to the Marcos Jr. administration, which he described as a "rogue state."
