HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by Honorable Karle Alexei B. Nograles

. This bill seeks to establish two additional branches of the Regional
‘Trial Courts (RTC) to be designated by the Supreme Court as additional
drugs courts in Davao City.

Section 2 of Republic Act No. 9165 known as the Comprehensive

the State to safeguard the integrity of its territory and the well-being of its
citizenry particularly the youth, form the harmful effects of dangerous on
their physical and mental well-being, and to defend the same against acts
or omissions detrimental to their development and preservation. wo"

Further; Section 90 of the same Act provides:

« Section 90. Jusisdiction. - The Supreme Court shall designate
special courts from among the existing Regional Triai Court in each
judicial region to exclusively try and hear cases involving violation of this

‘on the population and the number of cases pending in their respective
jurisdiction.

xxx XXX ‘XXX
At present, Davao City is the largest and one of the most important

cities in the Philippines. Ithas a population of about 1.3 million. With such
a big population, the passage of this bill is necessary to provide impetus to



“Section 16 of Article if (Bill of Rights) of the Constitution which declares
teas} i i fore
‘al judicial, quasi-judicial or administrative bodies. °

‘The courts should serve the best interest of the public and answer the
growing demands for the immediate resolution of the cases which presertly
flog the dockets and slow down the dispensation of justice im Davao City.
Hence, the creation is of utmost importance for the peaple of Davao

In view of the foregoing considerations and in order to immediately
stop me of today's most serious social ills that destroy so many lives and
Continuously wreck so many families, approval of this bill is eamestly
recommended.

HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by: Representative Karlo A. B. Nograles

EXPLANATORY NOTE ‘

This Bill seeks to establish one {1) additional branch of the Regional Trial
Court (RTC} in Davao City to be designated by the Supreme Court as additional
Family Court.

Section 2 of the Republic Act NO. 8369, otherwise known as the “Family
Courts Act of 1997”, provides in part that “The State recognizes the sanctity of
family life and shall protect and strengthen the family as a basic autoromous
social institution. The courts shall preserve the solidarity of the family, provide
procedure for the reconciliation of spouses and the amicable settlement of family

controve.sy.”

Section 3 of the same Act also provides that “There shall be established a
Family Court in every province and city in the country. In case where the city is the
capital cf the province, the Family Court shall be established in the municipality
which hes the highest population.”

The result of the census in 2007 showed that among the provinces and
cities in Region Xi, Davao City has the highest average annual population growth
rate wit) 2.41 percent. It has also crossed the million mark as it registered a total
of 1, 363, 337 people or equivalent to 32.8 percent of the region's total



population. With the rapid growth of population in Davao City, the number of

juvenile and family cases has sikewise increased.

Davao City has three (3) Regional Trial Courts (RTC) designated as

Presently,
h numerous cases which: clog the

Family Courts. These courts are loaded wit!
dockets thus making it difficutt to resolve cases expeditiously.

The establishment of one (1} additional branch of Regional Trial Court as

Family Court in Davao City will ease the burden of the courts and will certainly

lead to a speedier resolution of juvenile and domestic relations cases.

In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
