THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) has committed grave abuse of discretion when it ordered the disqualification of Smartmatic-TIM Corporation and Smartmatic Philippines Inc. from joining the bidding for the automated election system (AES) for the upcoming 2025 midterm elections, the Supreme Court (SC) ruled.The SC En Banc unanimously approved on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, the granting of Petition for Certiorari filed by the said firm that seeks to reverse the Comelec resolution issued in November 29, 2023 preventing them from participating in any public bidding for elections. The SC En Banc said the poll body gravely abused its discretion when it disqualified Smartmatic even before the firm submitted any bid, without any reference to the eligibility requirements prescribed by its Bids and Awards Committee.It said the Comelec implemented a discretionary pre-qualification regime antithetical to the Government Procurement and Reform Act.However, the SC said ruling shows no sufficient basis to nullify the public bidding and the P17.9-billion contract that the Comelec signed last month with South Korea’s Miru Systems Co. Ltd. for the provision of vote-counting machines for the upcoming elections, noting considerations of equity, justice, practicality, and the doctrine of operative fact.“However, the Court recognized that to require the Comelec to conduct another round of public bidding would seriously disrupt its preparations for the 2025 National and Local Elections (NLE) and potentially jeopardize the very conduct of the NLE. Accordingly, the Court ruled that its Decision will be prospective in application,” the SC said in a statement.In a press conference, SC spokesperson lawyer Camille Ting said Smartmatic may now participate in the bidding for AES for the next election.The Comelec issued the resolution in November 2023 due to allegations of bribery against former Comelec chairperson Andy Bautista, who allegedly accepted grease money in exchange for awarding a contract for election machines to Smartmatic Corp.In an interview with reporters, Comelec spokesperson Rex Laudiangco said they respect the decision of the high court and is ready whatever result it may bring.

Gwendolyn Garcia has urged the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) to meet with the Provincial Government within the week to discuss the return of the stolen pulpit panels from a heritage-declared church in Boljoon town.Garcia clarified in a press conference Tuesday, April 2, 2024, that she does not have the right to demand action from NMP, but she can call them out to take the Province’s concerns seriously. Garcia was responding to the NMP’s reply letter dated April 2, signed by its director general Jeremy Barnes, in which Barnes agreed with Capitol’s earlier proposal to visit Cebu and hold a dialogue, but set April 30 as the date of their dialogue, due to the National Museum officials’ prior commitments overseas.Garcia, however, said the NMP’s reply has been long overdue and the Province’s concerns were not taken seriously, since she first sent out the request letter last Feb. 27. Legal remediesShe said the NMP responded only after receiving a separate letter on Monday, April 1, which included an additional paragraph saying that the Provincial Government would pursue all legal remedies to recover the stolen items.The NMP, for its part, said it was not able to reply after assuming that the recent visit of the chairperson of its Board of Trustees (BOT) Andoni Aboitiz to the Governor’s office would suffice as a reply.Garcia said the stolen panels were discussed during Aboitiz’s visit; however, it does not constitute an official reply to their request. The panels, missing since they were reported stolen from Boljoon Church in the 1980s, resurfaced last Feb. 14 when they were donated to the NMP by a private individual as “a gift to the nation.”Garcia added that the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) has issued a comment to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) requesting a legal opinion regarding the stolen pulpit panels. The OSG commented that the NMP can be held criminally liable under the Anti-Fencing Law due to the national museum’s possession and claiming of ownership of the stolen religious artifacts owned by the Cebu Archdiocese. Meanwhile, the Cebu Provincial Board approved on Monday a resolution authorizing Garcia to file cases against the NMP, according to a social media post of Vice Governor Hilario Davide III.Provincial Board Members Andrei Duterte and Stanley Caminero, author and co-author of the resolution, also authorized the governor to file cases against individuals who kept the panels after they were stolen. However, Garcia clarified that the provincial government has not yet decided to file cases as she wants to prioritize a collaborative approach with the NMP. On the other hand, the legal consultants to the Capitol Rory Jon Sepulveda and Ben Cabrido said the Provincial Legal Officer has drafted possible administrative and criminal cases, including involving the Anti-Fencing Law or Presidential Decree 1612, against NMP’s officials if they fail to collaborate with the provincial government and insist on claiming ownership of the pulpit panels. Sepulveda and Cabrido, however, said it is up to the governor to decide whether to pursue the legal cases. / EHP

The IBP Cebu City Chapter has established MOAs with Cebu law schools for their various initiatives.Challenges Mary Grace Casano, executive director for legal aid of the IBP Cebu City Chapter core team, presented common challenges faced by courts and jail facilities that impede the Philippine justice system. The challenges include institutional barriers such as the lack of drug courts causing delays in court proceedings. According to the IBP, there is an unbalanced number of drug courts even though 90 percent of PDL cases involve violations of Republic Act 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Act of 2002.There is also a shortage of judges, prosecutors, public attorneys, parole and probation officers, and court personnel. Moreover, inadequate and substandard facilities and living conditions in jails, delays in drug dependency examination (DDE) due to the lack of accredited DDE physicians, the financial incapacity of PDLs, jail congestion and overcrowding contribute to the problem.Jose Glenn Capanas, dean of the University of San Carlos School of Law and Governance said based on Supreme Court (SC) records in 2023, approximately 70 percent or roughly 335 out of the 478 jail facilities nationwide are overcrowded.

While the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) reported a drop in jail congestion (367 percent in 2023) compared to 600 percent in 2018, Capanas said the country’s jail congestion rate has remained relatively high.

There are only three Regional Trial Court (RTC) branches in Mandaue City compared to 22 in Cebu City. Mandaue City RTC Branch 83 Executive Judge Alan Garciano said they are implementing a new system to expedite the release of PDLs who have served their maximum sentence. The system involves acknowledging the release of the PDLs without need for a court order, as long as jail personnel can verify that the PDL has indeed completed their sentence. “The court is informed of the release seven days before the PDL’s release, as stated by the Office of the Court Administrator Circular No. 201-2022,” said Garciano.To help decongest the MCJ, the Mandaue City Government has built a wider jail facility with a larger inmate capacity. In September 2023, the MCJ male dormitory moved to its new location in Sitio Dunggoan, Barangay Basak which significantly improved their congestion problem, Baltar said.However, PDLs at the female dormitory have yet to transfer from the old MCJ facility in Barangay Looc to Barangay Basak as the new area for the female dormitory remains swampy.Serrano said as soon as an embankment is built, the transfer would take place. The new MCJ facility has an ideal capacity of 280 inmates for its male dormitory and 40 inmates for the female dormitory. / HIC

Mandaue jail Over at the Mandaue City Jail (MCJ), Jonathan Baltar, superintendent of the male dormitory, said out of around 1,506 male PDLs, 406 persons were under preventive detention as of Tuesday, March 5. Shela Serrano, superintendent of the MCJ female dormitory, also reported that 87 out of the 126 female PDLs were under preventive detention.In 2015, the MCJ was ranked as one of the most congested jail facilities in Central Visayas with a congestion rate of 1,701 percent, according to the BJMP Its male facility, originally designed to accommodate around 95 inmates, hosted around 1,000 male inmates at the time, while its female dormitory which could accommodate only around 22 PDLs catered to about a hundred female inmates.According to court officials, the main reason for the slow disposal of cases was the lack of trial courts to handle the large volume of cases in Mandaue City. There are only three Regional Trial Court (RTC) branches in Mandaue City compared to 22 in Cebu City. Mandaue City RTC Branch 83 Executive Judge Alan Garciano said they are implementing a new system to expedite the release of PDLs who have served their maximum sentence. The system involves acknowledging the release of the PDLs without need for a court order, as long as jail personnel can verify that the PDL has indeed completed their sentence. “The court is informed of the release seven days before the PDL’s release, as stated by the Office of the Court Administrator Circular No. 201-2022,” said Garciano.To help decongest the MCJ, the Mandaue City Government has built a wider jail facility with a larger inmate capacity. In September 2023, the MCJ male dormitory moved to its new location in Sitio Dunggoan, Barangay Basak which significantly improved their congestion problem, Baltar said.However, PDLs at the female dormitory have yet to transfer from the old MCJ facility in Barangay Looc to Barangay Basak as the new area for the female dormitory remains swampy.Serrano said as soon as an embankment is built, the transfer would take place. The new MCJ facility has an ideal capacity of 280 inmates for its male dormitory and 40 inmates for the female dormitory. / HIC

Gambling in the Philippines 2023 – the Latest Trends

CEBU Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia has urged the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) to meet with the Provincial Government within the week to discuss the return of the stolen pulpit panels from a heritage-declared church in Boljoon town.Garcia clarified in a press conference Tuesday, April 2, 2024, that she does not have the right to demand action from NMP, but she can call them out to take the Province’s concerns seriously. Garcia was responding to the NMP’s reply letter dated April 2, signed by its director general Jeremy Barnes, in which Barnes agreed with Capitol’s earlier proposal to visit Cebu and hold a dialogue, but set April 30 as the date of their dialogue, due to the National Museum officials’ prior commitments overseas.Garcia, however, said the NMP’s reply has been long overdue and the Province’s concerns were not taken seriously, since she first sent out the request letter last Feb. 27. Legal remediesShe said the NMP responded only after receiving a separate letter on Monday, April 1, which included an additional paragraph saying that the Provincial Government would pursue all legal remedies to recover the stolen items.The NMP, for its part, said it was not able to reply after assuming that the recent visit of the chairperson of its Board of Trustees (BOT) Andoni Aboitiz to the Governor’s office would suffice as a reply.Garcia said the stolen panels were discussed during Aboitiz’s visit; however, it does not constitute an official reply to their request. The panels, missing since they were reported stolen from Boljoon Church in the 1980s, resurfaced last Feb. 14 when they were donated to the NMP by a private individual as “a gift to the nation.”Garcia added that the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) has issued a comment to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) requesting a legal opinion regarding the stolen pulpit panels. The OSG commented that the NMP can be held criminally liable under the Anti-Fencing Law due to the national museum’s possession and claiming of ownership of the stolen religious artifacts owned by the Cebu Archdiocese. Meanwhile, the Cebu Provincial Board approved on Monday a resolution authorizing Garcia to file cases against the NMP, according to a social media post of Vice Governor Hilario Davide III.Provincial Board Members Andrei Duterte and Stanley Caminero, author and co-author of the resolution, also authorized the governor to file cases against individuals who kept the panels after they were stolen. However, Garcia clarified that the provincial government has not yet decided to file cases as she wants to prioritize a collaborative approach with the NMP. On the other hand, the legal consultants to the Capitol Rory Jon Sepulveda and Ben Cabrido said the Provincial Legal Officer has drafted possible administrative and criminal cases, including involving the Anti-Fencing Law or Presidential Decree 1612, against NMP’s officials if they fail to collaborate with the provincial government and insist on claiming ownership of the pulpit panels. Sepulveda and Cabrido, however, said it is up to the governor to decide whether to pursue the legal cases. / EHP Patakaran sa Buwis sa Paghuhusga sa Pilipinas
