| SEC COMPLIANCE WITH SEC. 96 (TRANSPARENCY SEAL) R.A. NO. 11518 (GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT FY 2021) | |
| SYMBOLISM | |
| A pearl buried inside a tightly-shut shell is practically worthless. Government information is a pearl, meant to be shared with the public in order to maximize its inherent value. The Transparency Seal, depicted by a pearl shining out of an open shell, is a symbol of a policy shift towards openness in access to government information. On the one hand, it hopes to inspire Filipinos in the civil service to be more open to citizen engagement; on the other, to invite the Filipino citizenry to exercise their right to participate in governance. | |
| This initiative is envisioned as a step in the right direction towards solidifying the position of the Philippines as the Pearl of the Orient a shining example for democratic virtue in the region. | |
