HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by: Hon. Edwin L. Olvarez

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill, earnestly seck for the creation of additional Gwo (2) Regional “tial
Courts in the City of Paranaque, in view of the volume of cases now pending therein
and the growing population emerging in the City, hence, the demand to aid the
enisting branch to address the expeditious resolution af cases and rendition of justice

i

Like the neighboring cities of Paranaque here in Metro Manila, the perenni:
problem of voluminous cases pending in the various branches ot the Regiona? T.
Courts are proverbial daily realities not only among litigants but also to the hawyers
alike. and judges are put to blame, simply because they failed to resolve the cases on
time or at least within the reasonable period possible. But taking a consicerabi
prognosis on this reality, we cannot abdicate the fact that our courts, particular
Regional Trial Courls of Paranaque City. are indeed uverladen by cases. and the
solution to this primarily: is no other than 2 create additional beanches of Regions! Ts
Courts, to diversely declogged the courts and judges, and eventually focus on the €a)
resolution af cases.

AL present, Paranaque City has only eight (8) Branches of Regional Tria! Courts
with a population of more than five hundred eighty five thousand six hundred torty-
four (385,644)

bill i. !

In view of the foregoing, the undersigned i pray for the approval af this
