Filipinos have had enough of ghost projects, overpriced contracts, and public funds vanishing into thin air.
It’s not enough for leaders to say the bill is a priority—we need it passed into law.
Recent news shows the President urging prioritization, but many fear this is symbolic, a way to appease public pressure without guaranteeing real action. Actual certification and passage of the CADENA Act (Senate Bill 1506) is the only way to ensure transparency and accountability.
What is CADENA?
CADENA = Citizen Access and Disclosure of Expenditures for National Accountability.
It’s a law that would require all government agencies, departments, and corporations to disclose:
Budget allocations & spending
Procurement contracts & bills of materials
Project costs & audit reports
…all online, secure, and accessible to every Filipino. Imagine tracking every peso from planning to spending!

Why It Matters
Transparency is power. With CADENA:
Corrupt deals and ghost projects become visible
Citizens can monitor government spending in near real-time
Politicians and agencies are held accountable for every peso
Simply put: CADENA puts the people back in control of public funds.
The Opposition?
Some say it’s “too hard” or “too technical.”
The truth? Those who profit from hidden funds don’t want it passed.
Technical challenges can be solved — the political resistance is the real hurdle. That’s why citizen pressure is crucial.
How You Can Help
Share this post and raise awareness
Contact your representatives and demand CADENA’s actual passage, not just prioritization
Get involved in watchdog initiatives once CADENA is implemented
Imagine This:
The Philippines where every peso of your taxes is trackable. Where corruption is harder to hide. Where public trust is restored.
This isn’t just a dream — it can happen with CADENA. But only if we demand that it be passed, not just talked about.
