About PHILIPPINE INFORMATION AGENCY - Government

The Philippine Information Agency (PIA) was founded on Christmas Eve of 1986 through Executive Order No. 100 signed by President Corazon Aquino. The PIA 's aim is to disseminate information about government programs, projects, and services to the Filipino public, with the final goal of seeing the quality of their lives improved and empowered to participate in the country’s democratic processes. As the only government information network that can reach the grassroots—spanning 16 regional offices and 72 provincial information centers—the PIA is the country’s chief information arm. Its expertise is development communication. PIA also serves as an advertising and public relations firm for the Office of the President, all agencies under the Executive Branch, Local Government Units (LGUs), Government Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs), and Government Financial Institutions (GFIs).
