HOUSE BILLNO. 335

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This reenacts House Bill No. 224 which was approved by the 14”
Congress on 02 September 2008 and was transmitted to and received by
the Senate on 16 September. 2008, —— —

This bill provides for the creation of an additional branch of the
Regional Trial Court (RTC) for the Province of Camarines Sur that will be
stationed In Its capital town of Pili, the place where the seat of the
Provindal Government ts located.

The capital town of Pili has a fast growing population, and ts tn dire
need of an additional RTC branch to respond to the various judicial needs
of the cluster of surrounding municipalities, i.e. the capital town of Pill and
its neighboring municipalities of Bula and Ocampo, in the Province of

Camarines Sur,

This bill Is In consonance with the provision of the 1987 Constitution
which states that “All persons shall have the right to a speedy disposition
of their cases before all judicial, quasi-judicial, or administrative bodies.”

With the huge volume of criminal, clvil and other cases under the
aurrent Regional Trial Court branches in Pili, delays in the disposition of
such cases occur, creating a serious backlog of cases which affect the
efficient delivery of judicial services. It is therefore imperative that an
additional branch of the Regional Tria! Court be created in capital
town of Pili.

Hence, the Immediate passage of this bill is eamestly sough'
