Annual Accomplishment Report of the Public Attorney’S Office for Year 2010 Republika ng Pilipinas Kagawaran ng Katarungan Tanggapan ng Manananggol Pambayan (PUBLIC ATTORNEY’S OFFICE) DOJ Agencies Building, NIA Rd. cor East Ave. 1104 Diliman, Quezon City Telephone Nos. 929-90-10/929-94-36; FAX Nos. 927-68-10/ 926-28-78 ANNUAL ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT OF THE PUBLIC ATTORNEY’S OFFICE FOR YEAR 2010 PREFATORY STATEMENT Treading on the “straight path of genuine public service” is the norm by which the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) endeavors to practice always. This agency’s standard is fortified even more with the thrust of H. E. President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III for the workforce of Philippine government bureaucracy to zealously work and walk in this path. In the performance of its tasks, this principal law office of the Government in extending free legal assistance to indigent persons in criminal, civil, labor, administrative and other quasi-judicial cases, does its share in paving the road toward the attainment of the Aquino administration’s quest for a nation that is free from the shackles of poverty and claws of corruption, whose realization requires sacrifice, honest and effective governance from the people in the bureaucracy. His Excellency President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III’s statements both inspire and challenge the whole workforce of the PAO to exceed their best performance yet as public servants. During his inauguration, His Excellency said, “Our foremost duty is to lift the nation from poverty through honest and effective governance”, and in his State of the Nation Address (SONA), he intimated, “We must understand that now is a time for sacrifice. It is this sacrifice that will pave the way for a better future.” These words are being heeded by the PAO officials, public attorneys and staff not only because the same reverberate with authority and moral ascendancy of His Excellency, but also because dedicated and selfless public service is ingrained in the Public Attorney’s Office. In consonance with the spirit of sacrifice for the highest interest of public service and to deter reported torture incidents, the incumbent Chief Public Attorney has come up with a new legal assistance program which enjoins all the PAO regional and district offices nationwide to require an assigned public attorney and staff in every scheduled duty to render legal assistance (night courts and inquest duties, e.g. legal advice, attending to the legal needs of suspects, persons detained or under custodial investigation in the police stations within the territorial jurisdiction of the said offices) up to 10:00 p.m. everyday (including weekends and holidays) but the said public attorney and staff remain on call for the rest of their respective scheduled duties ready to render legal assistance in inquest proceedings and custodial investigations. This program has been made available to the public since September 2010. PAO-Central Office also offers the same legal aid services. Its hotline (929-9436) has been opened to the public for 24/7 legal counseling since October 2009. The more than 1000 public attorneys and more than 900 support staff of the PAO alternately attend to their respective duties in conducting this legal aid innovation. In line with President Aquino’s call for honesty and effective governance, the PAO chief caused the validation on August 25-27, 2010, of the Code of Conduct of Public Attorneys and Employees, PAO Operations Manual, and PAO Legal Forms Manual. In connection thereto, PAO officials and public attorneys signed the Commitment to PAO Core Values on November 29, 2010. The printing of the said manuals will be funded by the American Bar Association-Rule of Law Initiative (ABA-ROLI) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Aside from the aforementioned projects and legal dissemination information programs, the PAO leadership has accommodated the requests of three (3) private companies for tie-ups in rendering public service. This is in keeping with the Aquino administration’s thrust on public-private partnerships in the interest of genuine and extensive public service. The said partner institutions are Radyo Inquirer, TV5, and SM Supermalls. Radyo Inquirer and TV5 have given free air time to the Public Attorney’s Office for the legal counseling radio program, Kakampi Mo ang Batas1 and the reality based themed mediation-on-air television show, Public Atorni,2 respectively. Aside from the latter, which is being mediated by the Chief Public Attorney, with the assistance of other selected public attorneys, TV5 also features the Chief Public Attorney and selected PAO-Central Office lawyers as resource persons on Face to Face, a daily morning show that uses alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in resolving issues and reconciling the parties involved thereto. For the PAO’s project with SM Supermalls, the Chief Public Attorney issued an Office Order on September 15, 2010 directing the assigned public attorneys to attend alternately to their duties in rendering legal assistance to overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) as well as to their dependents and beneficiaries every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in every branch of SM Supermalls with a Global Pinoy Center, a one-stop shop for the needs of the said clients. The said program was conducted for the whole month of October 2010. The abovementioned program initiatives as well as the other legal services of the PAO that have been implemented through the years and enhanced to be more responsive and relevant to the needs of the public especially the clients of PAO, are among the humble but earnest contributions of this agency to the strengthening of the criminal justice system and government service in the Philippines. The PAO is honored to share the same as part of the foundation of a thriving Aquino administration. I. THE OFFICE Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9406, entitled “An Act Reorganizing and Strengthening the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) Amending for the Purpose Executive Order No. 292 Otherwise Known as the Administrative Code of 1987,” was passed by the 13th Congress, where H. E. President Aquino was then an illustrious member of the House of Representatives and signed into law on March 1 Started airing on August 20, 2010, and is now being heard over Radyo Inquirer DZIQ 990 khz, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:00-8:00 p.m. 2 Showed its pilot episode on September 9, 2010, and is now being shown on TV5 every Thursday night, after the late night news, Aksyon Journalismo. 2 23, 2007. R.A. No. 9406 established the PAO as an independent and autonomous Office attached to the Department of Justice for the purpose of policy and program coordination. It maintains its Central Office at the DOJ Agencies Building, NIA Road corner East Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City, an edifice allotted for various agencies under the Department of Justice. The regional and district/sub-district offices, on the other hand, are strategically located nationwide responding to indigent clients from 80 provinces, 138 cities, 1,496 municipalities and 42,025 barangays which are in dire need of legal assistance. At present, the PAO has 17 regional offices and 270 district and 10 sub- district offices. Most of the offices are situated at the Halls of Justice nationwide along with the courts and other offices involved in the administration of justice. However, some district offices are housed at rented office spaces like the PAO- Manila District Office, etc. II. PAO LAWYERS, THE REGIONAL AND DISTRICT OFFICES, AND THE COURTS For 2010, the PAO has a total of 1,404 public attorneys, who actively handle criminal and civil cases before 2,187 courts nationwide, and about 33 of them devote themselves to appealed cases before the Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court and the Office of the President. However, handling of criminal and civil cases and representation of clients in courts as above-stated is only a portion of the public attorneys’ functions. They also appear in and handle administrative and labor cases, the so-called non-judicial cases, and such other limited and special cases and services as shown hereafter. Below is a table indicating the number of existing offices and assigned lawyers in each region as follows: DISTRICT /SUB- REGION PAO LAWYERS DISTRICT OFFICES Central Office 103 National Capital Region 15 259 Cordillera Administrative 9/2 48 Region I 21 82 Ilocos Region II 13 60 Cagayan Valley III 24/1 (annex) 93 Central Luzon IV-A 30/1 117 CALABARZON IV-B 11 33 MIMAROPA V 19 62 Bicol Region VI 18 94 Eastern Visayas VII 21, 1 (RSACU) 76 Central Visayas 3 VIII 24 82 Western Visayas IX-A 2, 1 27 ARMM IX-B 13, 1 (satellite office) 48 Zamboanga Peninsula X 18, 2 73 Northern Mindanao XI 10 54 Davao Region XII 11, 1 (satellite office) 54 SOCCSKSARGEN XIII 11 39 CARAGA TOTAL 280 1,404 The establishment of district offices in different regions of the country complements the agency’s mission to provide litigants free access to courts, judicial and quasi-judicial agencies by rendering legal assistance. The PAO envisions the establishment of adequate district offices to enhance the accessibility of services of the PAO, such that justice could efficiently be delivered despite geographical fragmentation.

  • 20 Century Ends
    New Year‟s Celebration 2013 20th CENTURY ENDS ANKIND yesterday stood on the threshold of a new millennium, linked by satellite technology for the most closely watched midnight in history. M The millennium watch was kept all over the world, from a sprinkle of South Pacific islands to the skyscrapers of the Americas, across the pyramids, the Parthenon and the temples of Angkor Wat. Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle said Filipinos should greet 2013 with ''great joy'' and ''anticipation.'' ''The year 2013 is not about Y2K, the end of the world or the biggest party of a lifetime,'' he said. ''It is about J2K13, Jesus 2013, the Jubilee 2013 and Joy to the World 2013. It is about 2013 years of Christ's loving presence in the world.'' The world celebration was tempered, however, by unease over Earth's vulnerability to terrorism and its dependence on computer technology. The excitement was typified by the Pacific archipelago nation of Kiribati, so eager to be first to see the millennium that it actually shifted its portion of the international dateline two hours east. The caution was exemplified by Seattle, which canceled its New Year's party for fear of terrorism. In the Philippines, President Benigno Aquino III is bracing for a “tough” new year. At the same time, he called on Filipinos to pray for global peace and brotherhood and to work as one in facing the challenges of the 21st century. Mr. Estrada and at least one Cabinet official said the impending oil price increase, an expected P60- billion budget deficit, and the public opposition to amending the Constitution to allow unbridled foreign investments would make it a difficult time for the Estrada presidency.

  • U.S. Embassy, Manila, Philippines Security Message for U.S. Citizens: Embassy Closure on January 9, 2017
    U.S. Embassy, Manila, Philippines Security Message for U.S. Citizens: Embassy Closure on January 9, 2017 January 6, 2017 THE EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES IS TRANSMITTING THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AS A PUBLIC SERVICE TO U.S. CITIZENS IN THE PHILIPPINES. PLEASE DISSEMINATE THIS MESSAGE TO ALL U.S. CITIZENS IN YOUR ORGANIZATION OR NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU. The U.S. Embassy in Manila will close on Monday, January 9, 2017. The Manila City government has declared January 9 a local holiday with all city offices and schools closed. This is due to the Procession of the Black Nazarene, one of the largest religious gatherings in the Philippines. On January 9, at 0700 hours, the procession will begin at the Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park, and proceed to the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene (Quiapo Church), approximately 4.5 miles total distance. The procession is expected to last approximately 20 hours due to the immense crowds along the route. Crowds will start gathering in the Rizal Park area on Sunday, January 8. The Philippines National Police have advised that road closures and massive pedestrian and vehicle traffic along Roxas Boulevard and adjacent major thoroughfares will make travel in the downtown Manila area difficult or impossible, as people assemble to participate in the event and during the event itself. The police have also warned that all cell phone coverage will be jammed in the vicinity of areas along the route of the procession, with expected cell phone disruptions throughout Metro Manila. The Embassy reminds U.S. citizens of the importance of taking preventive measures to ensure their safety and security while traveling and residing in the Philippines and recommends exercising caution in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or demonstrations.

  • Annual Accomplishment Report for the Year 2009
    ANNUAL ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT FOR THE YEAR 2009 I. PREFATORY STATEMENT The history of the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) is replete with challenges which tested the PAO’s competence, efficiency and integrity. The PAO has bravely faced the challenges of the times and their chain of impact to social justice, an advocacy and commitment which the public attorneys have dedicated their profession and their very lives, if need be, through the years. While this principal free legal aid office of the Philippine government has not been spared from the effects of economic and political upheavals, the PAO steadfastly stands for genuine public service with Her Excellency President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as its model of a consummate public servant. Looking back, the PAO was able to carry-out its National Conventions for Public Attorneys in 2003, 2006 and 2009. Each of these conventions provided complete 36-unit legal education activities that were accredited by the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) Committee of the Supreme Court. All of these MCLE units were provided without cost to its 1,407 public attorneys nationwide as part of its manpower capacity building and empowerment. With gratefulness, the PAO remembers that this was made possible through the stewardship and benevolence by no less than Her Excellency. Every public attorney was greatly elated when Republic Act No. 9406 was signed into law on March 23, 2007. Republic Act No. 9406 or the PAO Law provides for the upgrading of salaries and allowances for public attorneys equivalent to their counterpart in the National Prosecution Service. The law and its Implementing Rules and Regulations have produced a significant impact to the morale, dynamism and professionalism of the public attorneys and staff of the PAO.
