“Live by example.
As our justice system can only be

as effective as the trust of the people in it,
the efficiency of the courts is fundamentally
dependent on whether you perform in a manner that
would encourage public confidence in the Judiciary.”
Message delivered by Chief Justice Diosdado M. Peralta on January 31, 2020 at the Sandiganbayan
Republic of the Philippines
Supreme Court
Manila
FROM THE CHAMBERS OF:

Diosdado M. Peralta
CHIEF JUSTICE
MESSAGE
This 2019 Judiciary Annual Report is historic as it is delivered
in the middle of a global pandemic. In the year covered by this
Report, the Court has made significant strides in the automation of
its operations. As early as June 2019, the Guidelines on the Use of
Videoconferencing Technology for the Remote Appearance and
Testimony of Certain Persons Deprived of Liberty, or PDLs, in Jails and
National Penitentiaries was implemented and pilot-tested three
months after in Davao City courts. Subsequently, the Guidelines
was adopted in 22 courts. This, among other court projects, has
enabled us to weather the pandemic and continue to perform our
constitutional mandate to uphold the Rule of Law at all times.
As I have always emphasized, the courts are not shutting

down in times of emergencies, but have instead been made even
more accessible to everyone at all times given our reliable
Judiciary-wide technologies.
Rest assured that the Judiciary under my watch will continue

with its automation and other reform efforts guided by four core
areas — efficiency,
efficiency, integrity,
security, security,
security, and
and service.
service. In this, I hope for
the support of all justice stakeholders, which includes the
Executive and Legislative Departments, to which the Constitution
mandates the submission of this Report.

AUTOMATED HEARING UPDATE

In 2019, the Philippine Judicial Academy and the Special Committee on Speedy Trial
conducted a series of training workshops on Automated Hearing to 683 court employees
representing 97 trial courts from the cities of Caloocan, Las Piñas, Malabon, Marikina,
Muntinlupa, Parañaque, Taguig, and Valenzuela. Held in partnership with the Governance
in Justice Programme (GOJUST) with the support of the European Union, the training
workshops were organized and designed to teach the participants how the automated
hearing process works and how it improves court efficiency in the trial courts. The
participants experienced applying this new intervention through group exercises and
simulation activities.
