ADMINISTRATIVE CIRCULAR 32 - 2020

TO : ALL LITIGANTS, JUSTICES, JUDGES AND PERSONNEL OF THE JUDICIARY, AND MEMBERS OF THE BAR

RE : RISING CASES OF COVID-19 INFECTION

Due to the unabated rise of Covid-19 infection, and with the entire country now under a state of calamity, with many cities either on “Extreme Enhanced Community Quarantine” or “Lockdown,” and to further limit the movement and travel of justices, judges and their skeleton-staff, in line with the appeal of the Government for the general public to stay home to prevent the further spread of Covid-19, ALL COURTS NATIONWIDE, from the Supreme Court down to the first level courts, SHALL BE PHYSICALLY CLOSED to all court users and may be reached only through their respective HOTLINES, and email addresses and Facebook accounts, if available, EFFECTIVE 23 March 2020, Monday.

The litigants, lawyers, prosecutors and the general public are hereby advised to first call the proper court through its hotline, or access it through its email address or Facebook account, if available, wherein it shall be determined if the matter being raised is urgent. If urgent, only then will the justice or judge on-duty, together with the skeleton-staff, go to court to receive and act on the said urgent matter. All calls and messages shall be entertained from 8:30am to 2:00pm, Monday to Friday.

Accordingly, all justices and judges on-duty, together with their skeleton staff, must stay at their respective residences, and shall only go to their courts once it has been determined that an urgent matter has to be acted upon. Otherwise, they need not go to their courts.

Court personnel who were previously authorized to report to their respective courts, e.g., those concerned with the payments and release of salaries and allowances in the Judiciary, shall continue to report to their respective courts as the need arises.

Attached herein as Annex A are the hotlines, and available email addresses and Facebook accounts of all courts nationwide.

Law enforcement agents are strongly advised to let our justices, judges and their respective skeleton-staff pass through checkpoints as they all likewise have a constitutional mandate to perform.

All provisions of prior issuances inconsistent herewith are deemed repealed.

FOR STRICT COMPLIANCE.

Parañaque City, 20 March 2020

It is about time that the farmers make real money.

President Rodrigo Duterte’s directive for the National Food Authority (NFA) to boost rice supply from local farms before considering importation could unduly drive up consumer prices, New York-based think tank Global Source said.

QUESTION: In a criminal case where an accused testified on direct examination to prove his defense, can the prosecution be allowed to elicit from him through cross-examination all important facts bearing upon the issue (Sec.6, Rule 132) though the same may not have been embraced in his direct examination?

ANSWER: No. Sec. 1(d), Rule 115 specifies that the accused may only be cross-examined on matters covered by direct examination. This Rule is consistent with the Constitutional right of the accused to maintain his silence and his right against self-incrimination.

It must be noted though that Sec. 1(d), Rule 115 applies exclusively to the accused and in criminal cases only. For other witnesses, we simply apply Sec.6, Rule 132 (See English Rule).
