THE JUDICIARY ANNUAL REPORT 2017 MESSAGE

Ordained and promulgated by the sovereign Filipino people, the 1987 Constitution serves as the basic and paramount law to which all other laws must conform. As can be gleaned from its Preamble, the 1987 Constitution was established in order to build a just and humane society and establish a government that embodies the ideals and aspirations of the Filipino people. It was enacted in order to promote the common good, conserve and develop the nation’s patrimony, and secure to the Filipino people and their posterity the blessings of independence and democracy under the Rule of Law and a regime of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace. Being the highest law of the land, it is elementary that all persons, including the highest officials of the land, accede to the 1987 Constitution. It cannot be gainsaid that constitutional principles and doctrines must be respected at all times. They cannot be subjected to the whims and caprices of the government and its officials who run it.

No less than the 1987 Constitution confers the power of judicial review on the Judicial Branch of the government. Section 1, Article VIII of the 1987 Constitution provides that judicial power includes “the duty of the courts of justice to settle actual controversies involving rights which are legally demandable and enforceable, and to determine whether or not there has been a grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction on the part of any branch or instrumentality of the government.” Notably, the aforesaid provision in the 1987 Constitution introduced the concept of the expanded certiorari jurisdiction of the courts of justice, ensuring the potency and power of judicial review to curb grave abuse of discretion by any branch or instrumentality of the government. Under their expanded certiorari jurisdiction, courts of justice are able to determine the limits of power of the agencies and offices of the government.

In the case of Angara vs. Electoral Commission (63 Phil. 139, 15 July 1936), it was held that “in cases of conflict, the Judicial Department is the only constitutional organ which can be called upon to determine the proper allocation of powers between the several departments and among In order to ensure continued the integral or constituent units thereof.” Undoubtedly, judicial review public faith, the Judicial is pertinent in the enforcement and fortification of the delicate system Department must be resolute of checks and balances and the fundamental principle of the separation in its commitment to the Rule of powers among the three departments of the government. of Law and in the promotion In order to ensure continued public faith, the Judicial Department must be resolute and protection of the basic in its commitment to the Rule of Law and in the promotion and protection of the rights and fundamental basic rights and fundamental liberties of the Filipino people. Given its pertinent liberties of the Filipino role in the fortification and furtherance of democratic principles and civil liberties, as enshrined in and protected by the 1987 Constitution, the Judicial Branch cannot people.
