Every claim has a citation. Every brief has a sources appendix. Anyone can audit, fork, or build on the analysis.
No government funding. No corporate retainers. No political party affiliation. Volunteer-supported, member-led.
Filipino, Cebuano, Ilocano, English. Plain-language summaries published alongside every technical brief.
Founded on the principle that the law should be a public good — not a private one — we are a volunteer organization of Filipino lawyers, paralegals, and policy researchers, working at the intersection of legal education, digital rights, and accountability.
We believe legal infrastructure should be open: pleadings, digests, research notes, plain-language explainers — maintained by counsel, free to read, free to reuse. The law belongs to everyone; the tools to use it should follow.
As government agencies adopt automated decision-making — from social benefits to risk scoring at ports — Philippine administrative law lacks a coherent right to explanation. We propose a statutory framework grounded in the Data Privacy Act and the Bill of Rights.
