HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Ouezon City
FIFTEENTH
CONGRESS
First Regular Session
House Bill No.
3229
Introduced by HON. RODOLFO G. BlAZON
EXPLANA TORY NOTE
. The need for the creation
of additional
branches of the Metropolitan
Trial
Court within the National Capital Region grows more evident with each passing year.
The continuously burgeoning population in the region has brought about a correlative
increase in the number of civil and criminal cases in the said courts. This has put to
task the capability of the said courts to effect the speedy resolution
of cases to the
detriment
of the litigants and our justice
system.
In Muntinlupa
City alone, the
present backlog of its lone court of, more or less, 3,600 cases does not speak very well
of the administration of justice.
Thus, this bill proposes
the creation
of five (5) additional
branches
of the
Metropolitan
Trial Courts,
with seats
in Muntinlupa
City.
With
the additional
branches,
it is envisioned
that the people
of Muntinlupa
City will enjoy an more
improved quality of life by making the courts immediately
accessible
and ensuring
the speedy and efficient administration
of justice.
The approval of this measure
IS earnestly
sought in view of the foregoing
premises.
