Championing Open Governance on the global stage
Manila Bulletin
|October 22, 2025
Assalamu alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. As chairperson of the Philippine Open Government Partnership (PH-OGP), I had the privilege of leading the Philippine delegation to the 2025 OGP Global Summit held in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, from Oct. 6 to 10.
With one of the most high-level representations at the event, our presence demonstrated that the Philippines stands firmly with the global OGP community in advancing open governance at all levels of society — refining systems for better public service delivery and strengthening public trust through transparency and collaboration.
The OGP Global Summit, held every two years, serves as a platform for dialogue on open government initiatives among more than 2,000 high-level representatives of governments, civil society, and policy makers worldwide. It is also where the most promising and impactful reforms in open government, submitted to the Open Gov Challenge, are recognized.
I am proud to share that the Philippines bagged not just one, but six Open Gov Challenge Awards, thus emerging as one of the most recognized countries. Each award represents an initiative that makes government more open from transparent procurement data that curbs corruption, to climate finance tools that empower the citizens. These were for four Philippine commitments that stood out among 163 initiatives submitted by over a hundred participating governments. Truly, this reflects our nation's collective commitment to open, transparent, and participatory governance, empowered by the leadership of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
