EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks the creation of an additional Regional Trial Court (RTC) in the
City of Bogo, Province of Cebu, amending for the purpose Butas Pambansa Big. 129
otherwise known as the “Judiciary Reorganization Act of 1981” and approptiating funds

therefor,

‘The judiciary, being the constituticnally designated arbiter of the legal disputes in
our democratic system of government must at all time render expedient disposition of
cases and must likewise be accessible to the pudlic. One of the constitutionally mandated
rights of every Filipino citizen is speedy dispesition of his/her case. Such can only be
attained if there are enough courts availaile to the public to hear and decide c: At
present, the 4" distriot of the Province of Ceb comprising of Bogo City and eight (8)
municipalities namely: Bantayan, Daap Bantayan Madridejos, Medellin, San Remegio,
Sta. Fe, Tabogon and Tabuelan has only one (1) seat of Regioaal Trial Court which at
present is stationed at Bogo City. With she 2rowing population of the 4” district and with
the advent of cityhood of Bogo, there 1s already an urgent need for the creation of an
additional Regional Trial Court to be stationed at Bogo City in order to properly serve the
administration of justice and bring the same closer to the public, to render swift justice
and, to lighten the docket of the already heavily burdened Regional Trial Coun in the 4"
District.

Hence, the approval of this Bill earnestly recommended.
