MANILA, PhilippinesThe freedom of information (FOI) bill may just finally get moving in the House of Representatives, with the public information committee agreeing on Wednesday to form a technical working group that would consolidate the different versions of the measure that have been filed.

But if committee chair and Misamis Occidental Rep. Jorge Almonte has his way, the FOI bills will instead be known as the access to information, or ATI bills.

However, several authors of the measure are opposed to Almontes idea as they said the word access does not capture the true significance of the bill, which is the citizens inherent right to information on matters of public concern.

Compared to the Senate, where the FOI bill has passed the committee level, the measure has been off to a sluggish start in the House.

The FOI bill was taken up during the first-ever meeting of the public information committee on Wednesday, after an earlier schedule had to be postponed. But since it was an organizational meeting, the discussions dealt mostly with the bills status and legislative history.

Almonte said House members should not feel pressured by the bills progress in the Senate, saying that committee members should be guided only by whether a measure is good for the country when passing a bill.

But he also pointed out that it was important that the FOI bill is passed as the constitutional provision on full public disclosure of transactions involving public interest was not self-executory. Its passage would uphold transparency in government and create the enabling law for the constitutional mandate, he said.

To forestall any more delays, Diwa party-list Rep. Emmeline Aglipay has proposed the creation of a technical working group that would discuss and consolidate bills of the same nature. Out of 40 bills in the committee, 19 are FOI measures.

The committee approved Aglipays proposal and designated Almonte as chair of the technical working group, giving him the blanket authority to decide how it would work.

MANATEE -- Lauren Martinez, a State College of Florida student and Freedom Village employee of six years, said she never expected to receive her first scholarship from the senior living community.

"I am following my mother's footsteps," Martinez said.

Martinez and her mother, Wilma Negron, are both recipients of Freedom Village scholarships.

Freedom Village residents have been raising money for employees to pursue higher education since 1995. The Freedom Village Scholarship Foundation has contributed more than $300,000 for more than 250 scholarships for State College of Florida students alone.

Glenn Vergason, scholarship fund chairman, said more funds have gone to support scholarship recipients at other schools.

"We are trying to assist

young people to get an education," Vergason said.

The State College of Florida held a thank-you reception Wednesday at Freedom Villages to show appreciation to the scholarship foundation for students who were able to attend the school through the scholarships.

Martinez was recently accepted into the honors society at the State College of Florida and is working toward a psychology degree with her scholarship. Negron, her mother, finished the school's LPN program and is working on a bachelor's degree in nursing.

Maria Sarver, assistant executive director at Freedom Village, said residents contribute in several ways to the scholarships. Residents can donate to the scholarship program through monthly service fees, remember the scholarship program in their wills or ask loved ones to give memorial donations in lieu of flowers at funeral services.
