DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

The Philippine Department of Justice (Filipino: Kagawaran ng Katarungan, abbreviated

as DOJ) is the executive department of the Philippine government responsible for upholding

the rule of law in the Philippines. It is the government's principal law agency, serving as its

legal counsel and prosecution arm. It has its headquarters at the DOJ Building in Padre

Faura Street, Ermita, Manila.

The department is led by the Secretary of Justice, nominated by the President of the

Philippines and confirmed by the Commission on Appointments. The Secretary is a member

of the Cabinet. The current Secretary of Justice is Leila de Lima.

History

The Department of Justice traces its beginnings at the Revolutionary Assembly in Naic,

Cavite on April 17, 1897. The establishment of a regime of law was tasked to Don Severino

delas Alas who headed the Department of Grace and Justice. Shortly after the

proclamation of Independence in Kawit, Cavite on June 12, 1898, President Emilio

Aguinaldo issued a decree on September 26, 1898 reorganizing the Department.

A year later, the American military force established the Office of the Attorney of the

Supreme Court in place ofthe Department. On June ll, 1901, the new office was renamed

the Office of the Attorney General and on September 1, 1901, the Office became

the Department of Finance and Justice.

In the 1916 government reorganization, the Department became a separate entity and was

given executive supervision over all courts of first instance and other inferior courts.

Under the Japanese occupation, the Department was made a Commission. The civilian

government established by the Japanese in 1943 changed it to a Ministry. After the war in

1945, the Government of the Philippine Commonwealth was re-established and

the Department of Justice was re-activated. The Department continued in this form under

the Philippine Republic.

Presidential Decree No. 1 during Martial Law reorganized the Executive Branch of the

national government. Letter of Implementation No. 20 of December 31, 1972 organized the

Department proper into the Office of the Secretary, the Financial and Management Service,

the Administrative Service, Technical Staff, the Prosecution Staff, the Legal Staff and the

Judiciary Division; the Commission on Immigration and Deportation, the National Bureau of

Investigation, the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel; the Board of Pardons and

Parole; the Bureau of Prisons; and the Citizens Legal Assistance Office.

Under the 1973 Constitution, Department became a Ministry of Justice. The 1986 People

Power Revolution ushered in the contemporary Department of Justice.

With the adoption of the 1987 Constitution and the Administrative Code of 1987 (Executive

Order No. 292), the Department of Justice was named as the principal law agency of the

Republic of the Philippines serving as its legal counsel and prosecution arm.

Today, the DOJ continues to pursue its primary mission "To Uphold the Rule of Law" with

its "Justice for All" motto. The Office of the Secretary (OSEC) is composed of the National

Prosecution Service, the Legal Staff, the Administrative, Financial, Technical and Planning

and Management Services and the Board of Pardons and Parole. The constituent and

attached agencies include the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Bureau of Immigration

(BI), Public Attomey’s Office (PAO), Office of the Solicitor General (OSG), Office of the

Government Corporate Counsel (OGCC), Bureau of Corrections (BuCOR), Parole and

Probation Administration (PPA), Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG)

and the Land Registration Authority (LRA).

Vision

A just and peaceful society anchored on the principles of transparency, accountability,

fairness and truth.

Mission

Towards the effective, efficient and equitable administration of justice.

Pledge

We undertake to provide every person equal access to justice, to faithfully safeguard

constitutional rights and to ensure that no one is deprived of due process of law.

Our commitment is to advocate for reforms in partnership with our stakeholders, to simplify

processes and re-engineer systems to best serve our constituents.

We shall work with honor and integrity for the institution, for God and country.

The Mandate of the Department of Justice

The Department of Justice (DOJ) derives its mandate primarily from the Administrative Code

of 1987 (Executive Order No. 292). It carries out this mandate through the Department

Proper and the Department's attached agencies under the direct control and supervision of

the Secretary of Justice.

Under EO 292, the DOJ is the government's principal law agency. As such, the DOJ serves

as the government's prosecution arm and administers the government's criminal justice

system by investigating crimes, prosecuting offenders and overseeing the correctional

system. The DOJ, through its attached offices, is also the government's legal counsel and

representative in litigations and proceedings requiring the services of a lawyer; implements

the Philippines' laws on the admission and stay of aliens within its territory; provides free

legal services to indigent Filipinos; and settles land disputes between and among small

landowners and indigenous cultural minorities.

Administration of the Criminal Justice System

The DOJ investigates the commission of crimes and prosecutes offenders through

the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the National Prosecution Service (NPS),

respectively. Likewise, the DOJ administers the probation and correction system of the

country through the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor), the Board of Pardons and Parole

(BPP) and the Parole and Probation Administration (PPA).

Legal Counsel of Government

The DOJ, through the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) and the Office of the

Government Corporate Counsel (OGCC), acts as the legal representative of the

Government of the Philippines, its agencies and instrumentalities including government

owned and controlled corporations and their subsidiaries, officials and agents in any

proceeding, investigation or matter requiring the services of a lawyer.

EO 292 specifically designates the Secretary as Attorney-General and ex-officio legal

adviser of government-owned or controlled corporations (GOCC) and their subsidiaries. The

Secretary exercises administrative adjudicatory powers over all controversies

between/among government agencies, including government owned and controlled

corporations including their subsidiaries. This power of adjudication of the Secretary

originally stemmed fromPresidential Decree No. 242, and is now embodied in Sections 66

to 71, Chapter 14, Book IV of E.O. 292.

He is likewise empowered to act on all queries and/or requests for legal advice and guidance

from private parties and other officials and employees of the government.

Regulation of Immigration

The DOJ provides immigration and naturalization regulatory services and implements the

laws governing citizenship and the admission and stay of aliens through the Bureau of

Immigration (BI). Also, under Administrative Order No. 142 dated August 23, 1994, the

Secretary or his duly-authorized representative is authorized to act on immigration matters,

including waiver of visas and admission of aliens, except deportation matters.

Likewise, the DOJ, through the DOJ Refugee Processing Unit (DOJ-RPU), processes

applications for refugee status of persons pursuant to the obligations of the Philippines as

signatory to the 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees.

International Cooperation

The DOJ is the central authority of the Republic of the Philippines relative to extradition and

mutual legal assistance treaties (MLAT) on criminal matters and is involved in several

aspects of international cooperation such as the drafting and implementation of legislation

and agreements as well as the negotiation of extradition and MLAT. Moreover,

under Philippine Extradition Law (P.D. 1069), the DOJ handles requests for extradition

and/or mutual legal assistance and represents treaty partners in Philippine courts.

The Department is also involved in the negotiation of various investment and trade

agreements with other foreign countries. The Secretary is also the ex-officio Co-Vice

Chairman of the Commission on Maritime and Ocean Affairs (CMOA) pursuant to EO

612 and EO 612-A (2007), which is involved in the identification of the Philippine baselines

and in the preparation of the submission to the United Nations of the country's claim for

extended continental shelf.

Provision of Free Legal Assistance

The DOJ provides free legal assistance/representation to indigents and poor litigants in

criminal, civil, and labor cases, administrative and other quasi-judicial proceedings and non-

commercial disputes through the Public Attorney's Office (PAO).

Alternative Dispute Resolution

With regard to conciliation and mediation, the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act of 2004

(RA 9285) created theOffice for Alternative Dispute Resolution (OADR), which is an agency

attached to the DOJ and which is tasked to promote, develop and expand the use of

alternative dispute resolution in civil and commercial disputes.

DOJ functions under other laws:

In addition to performing its mandate under E.O. 292, the Department is significantly

involved in the implementation of the following penal, national security, and social welfare

laws:

The Human Security Act of 2007 (RA 9372) which created the and designated the

Secretary as ex-officio member thereof. Relative to this and under EO 292, the

Other tasks falling within the multifarious duties of the executive branch to administer the

laws devolve upon the Department through the Secretary, to wit:

The Anti-Dummy Law (Commonwealth No. 108), as amended by Presidential Decree

III. The Nature of the Work in my Office

The nature of work in my office varies depending on the department and task

assigned to the said department, work could me ministerial, discretionary, or a mix of

both. The Office of the City Prosecutor is primarily involved in preliminary

investigations and prosecution of all cases involving penal laws but, there is a part of

the aforesaid office designated to release clearance (Fiscal’s clearance) upon the

request of applicants and receive cases being filed. Work in the clearance and

receiving department is purely ministerial in nature as the Office of the Prosecutor

has no choice but to grant the request for clearance of the applicants upon fulfillment

of the requirements as required by law; it involves no discretion. Likewise, the mailing

section of the office also performs ministerial functions as required by the law as

exemplified by the voluminous notices such as subpoenas that they have to send to

complainants and respondents. Meanwhile, a mix of ministerial and discretionary

functions are exercised by the main arm of the office, the prosecution arm. Ministerial

functions include administering oath of affiants and following the procedures provided

by law. The decision to file the information to the proper court upon determination of

a probable cause or to dismiss a case on the other hand, is both ministerial and

discretionary in nature.

B. Observation on the Rules and Regulations of the Office

For the Employees

There are a lot of rules and regulations governing the conduct of the

employees and the operation of the Department of Justice – National

Prosecution Service Office of the City Prosecutor Angeles City. The said

rules and regulations come from pertinent laws (e.g. the Anti-Red Tape

Act of 2007/R.A. 9485, R.A. 10071, R.A. 10535, etc.) and their

Implementing Rules and Regulations, Executive and Administrative

Orders, Memorandum Circulars from the Department of Justice,

Memorandum from the City Prosecutor, and other sources from

competent authority. I can say from my observation that the numerous

rules and regulations that apply to the employees are strictly being

followed in accordance with the law as failure to comply is on pain of an

administrative or criminal case. A concrete example is the strict

observance of the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007 which requires front line

government offices not to cease operations during lunch time; the

employees keep on working even on what is supposed to be lunch time

and eat only when there are no applicants for clearance or when it is off

peak hours.

Time is of the essence – this is always the case in the office as the

Philippine Standard Time Act of 2013 is also strictly observed in the office.

Confidentiality is also very important in the office in crimes where minors

are involved.

When dealing with the aforesaid office, respect of the process is

incumbent upon the parties (the office and complainants or respondents).

Those are just examples of the rules and regulations strictly being

observed in our office as there are a lot more, rest assured that all the

others are also being complied with as mandated by law.

For the Student Trainees

Almost all the rules and regulations that apply to the employees apply

to the student trainees due to the nature of the job; the only difference

is that it is more lenient and considerate for the student trainees.

Student Trainees are also less liable since the relationship between

the office and the trainee is not of that a full-fledged employer-

employee relationship. Nevertheless, student trainees should exercise

their due diligence in respecting the rules and regulations of the said

office as criminal charges may also apply to them.

b. What reports are made by the department?

Reports made by the department include:

o Resolution – as the general prosecution arm of the government,

the DOJ-NPS is tasked to determine whether there is probable

cause, having been defined in Rudy Caballes versus Court of

Appeals as signifying “xxx a reasonable ground of suspicion

supported by circumstances sufficiently strong in themselves to

warrant a cautious man’s belief that the person accused is guilty of

the offense with which he is charged; or the existence of such

facts and circumstances which could lead a reasonably discreet

and prudent man to believe that an offense has been committed

xxx.” The resolution contains the facts of the case, whether there

is probable cause or not, its basis in law, and whether a case

would be filed with the court or be dismissed.

o Information – if a case has probable cause and should be filed with

the proper court, an Information would be the document to be

submitted to the court. It basically contains what it is called –

Information. Information about the case and the circumstances.

o Investigation Data Form – is a report about the circumstances of a

certain case that is usually accompanied by a complaint affidavit.

Investigation Data Forms ofrom the Office of the City Prosecutor

are commonly made when the inquest proceeding is made in the

said office; other investigating agencies also have like their

investigation data forms (e.g. National Bureau of Investigation,

Philippine National Police, etc.)

o Inventories and Dockets

o Other miscellaneous administrative and legal reports

c. What are the forms being used for the business transactions?

The Department of Justice National Prosecution Service Office of the

City Prosecutor Angeles City does not have business transactions per

se as it is not engaged in business for profit. The closest thing to what

is being asked is the application form for a clearance that will be

provided by the aforesaid office upon fulfillment of the requirements

which include payment of poll tax (Cedula) and payment on the

Metropolitan Trial Court Window 1. The form contains questions about

basic information like the applicant’s name, address, and purpose so

as to facilitate the verification process for the clearance faster and

more convenient.

d. Communications and Public Relations

1. Meeting the Public Person

The Office of the City Prosecutor commonly meets the people or

interacts with the public when they are conducting a Preliminary

Investigations and Inquest Proceedings. The Prosecutors themselves,

assisted by their respective secretaries are the ones conducting the

said proceedings. The aforesaid proceedings are held in the

Preliminary Investigation rooms of the office; there are 3 of such

rooms marked as P.I. Room A, B, and C. Furthermore, the

proceedings are generally open to the parties, sometimes open to

public, and are sometimes confidential depending on the nature of a

certain case.

Most of the time the Administrative aides are in the frontline as they

are the ones who interact, assist, and answer the queries of persons

who come in the office. There are also posters and streamers posted

outside of the office that communicate certain advocacies of the office

and the Department of Justice in general (e.g. Anti-Violence against

Women, Anti-Human Trafficking, etc.)

On the clearance and filing side of the office, they meet the public

person through a window wherein all the transactions between

applicants and people who file cases happen.

2. Meeting the Public by Telephone

The Office of the City Prosecutor does have several phone lines

depending on the department you are trying to contact but, these are

for general queries and correspondence with the prosecutors/officers

as most of the interaction/transaction between the office and the

parties require personal acts, meaning the parties must appear in

person as required by law (e.g. taking an oath)

e. Processing Incoming and Outgoing Mails/Documents

Considering the voluminous amount of mail sent and received by the

Office of the Prosecutor everyday, the office has a mailing department

whose function is to send mail including notices, subpoenas, and the

like and receive Registry Return Receipts and other pertinent

documents. The mailing department utilizes the Philippine Postal

Office and its own personnel to send mail. The personnel of the

department deliver the mail themselves when the recipient is within

Angeles City and nearby towns and utilize the services of the

Philippine Postal Office when sending mail to other places.

With regard to the documents of the office, they docket and inventory

documents pertaining to cases. The office has a number of rooms full

of documents and can even use a few more to store more incoming

documents as cases are being filed almost everyday. Documents

pertaining to unresolved and active cases are mostly stored in huge

cabinets near the cubicle of the Prosecutors and administrative aides.

f. Filing Systems and Procedure

The procedure in applying for a clearance is illustrated above. With regard to

the filing of criminal cases, the cases are filed in the same window/part of the

office responsible for releasing clearance. Those who file cases just need to

bring the complete requirements in the said window.

The cases filed are also docketed, inventoried, (e.g. NPS Docket No. III-01-

INV-13F-00540) and stored.

window 1

On the first day of my On the Job Training Experience, I was assigned to the

clearance department and operated a typewriter. The typewriter was used to fill up

pre-printed clearance with the information of the applicant. I had to be taught how to

use it at first since the last time that I utilized such equipment was way back when I

was a child. There were about three (3) computer units and one (1) typewriter

dedicated for clearance.

On the second day, I was assigned to be an aide to the secretaries of the

prosecutors; I utilized my own iPad and a small netbook at first to help me digest

cases.

The netbook of Fiscal Ronald Leo Haban was eventually assigned for my use. During

the duration of my OJT experience I was also able to operate a desktop computer

and a strike printer.

D. Duties and Responsibilities/Work Done

My primary responsibility in the office was to digest cases and prepare a resolution

for them subject to the approval and revision of my immediate supervisor. Digesting a

case involves summarizing the facts and faithfully representing contradictory

affidavits. It involves a lot of reading and comprehension. After establishing the facts,

a recommendation is made on whether there is probable cause and whether to file a

case, dismiss it, or file another case different from what is provided on the complaint

based on the pertinent provisions of law. It is a very rigorous task as you have to

read and understand the law and jurisprudence of the Supreme Court to be able to

apply it on a certain case at bar.

I was also initially assigned to the clearance department/section for a day and was

tasked to type in the information of the applicants in pre-printed clearance, verify the

said clearance, and finally release it to the applicant.

Occasionally, I organized some case documents and registry return receipts. I also

prepared and printed subpoenas.

Every Wednesday and from time to time on other days, I assisted in the Preliminary

Investigations of cases. It was also a duty of mine to run errands for my immediate

supervisors and other employees and assist them.

VI. Observed Organizational Values

Interpersonal Relationships

I was able to observe that there was a close family ties-like relationship

among them. They are basically a family. The people in the office are able

to work seriously and be humorous at the same time, there would always

be someone telling jokes and making other people laugh. The people in

the office are also very welcoming and they treat students having their

OJT as part of the family.

It was an atmosphere conducive for work due to the attitude and behavior

of the people in the office.

Working Relationships with Executives & Co-Workers

There is a certain degree of respect yet there is also a certain degree of

closeness. That is how I can describe the working relationship between

the Prosecutors, employees, and students in the office. Professionalism is

given, considering the nature of work and the rules and regulations

governing the conduct of all the people in the office.

Teamwork

Given that the relationship between the employees is like that of a family,

teamwork is assured. People in the office care for each other and help

one another complete their respective tasks even in their own little ways.

The solid teamwork in the office was exemplified by the Christmas party

competition. The Prosecutors, Employees, and Trainees were grouped

into teams who competed with each other for a prize. The teams did not

only work hard together in order to win but, they worked hard so that

everybody could have fun. Even though the there are different teams,

people in the office kept in mind that they are all actually on the same

team.

Quality of Service Delivered

The Quality of Service Delivered by the Office of the City Prosecutor is

guaranteed to be satisfactory as they adhere to International Standards

given their ISO certifications. It is also guaranteed by the degree of

competence of the employees and the Prosecutors.

Punctuality

Punctuality is valued in the office as a shining example of adherence to

the Philippine Standard Time Act of 2013. The office has a bundy clock

system wherein the punctuality of the employees is determined; the

attendance and punctuality of the employees affect their salary. Given

also that the Office of the City Prosecutor has frontline government

functions components, time is always of the essence and that the right

time (for operating/opening, closing, etc.) is strictly being followed. There

is however an exception, the Prosecutors given their busy schedule and

court hearings are at times not in sync with the schedule of the office.

Personal Grooming

There is no prescribed uniform for the employees of the office but, they

are always wearing something presentable (e.g. DOJ polo shirt) and

following the dress code of the Justice Hall because they are like a

representation of the organization when they face the public/people who

has affairs with the said office. Students who are having their OJT there

are also not required to wear anything in particular; they are only required

to adhere by the dress code.

VII. Problems Encountered During my Training and How I Solved Them.

The Schedule and the concept of studying and working at the same time

– Initially, I had a problem with the schedule considering that I have to

work from 8:00am-5:00pm and study from 6:00pm-9:00pm. I was able to

overcome this difficulty by efficient and effective time management.

A minor issue between some of our immediate supervisors

- The was a minor conflict between two (2) employees as regards to

petty matters which was immediately solved as they are mature

individuals. What we did was to distance ourselves from the issue and

remained professional to avoid being dragged into it and making it

worse.

Emotional Dissonance

- I had some problems concerning emotion, this as persons undergoing

preliminary investigation show a wide range of emotions. Some are even

going as far as kneeling and begging the other party to desist from the

complaint while sobbing in the presence of his/her child. It is very

emotionally taxing as it is but natural for a human to feel yet, one must

restrain emotions so as not to compromise judgment and logic, and one

must also stick with the facts and not the drama.

VIII. Recommendation/Feedback of the Student on the School’s Practicum Training

Program.

I recommend that the Practicum Coordinators take time to visit every student in their

workplace for the welfare thereof and so as the coordinators can determine whether

a certain workplace is safe and conducive for learning. Furthermore, I recommend

that the coordinators be more accessible and that there be better communication

lines between coordinators and students.
