The Department of Justice will need a total of 1,537 new prosecutors and prosecution attorneys to haste the resolution of complaints and court cases which, for the past six years, have totaled more than 1.1 million.
“As gate keepers of criminal justice it is vital that the country’s prosecutional services be sufficiently empowered and equipped with an adequate workforce to pursue the investigation and prosecution of criminal behavior,” Remulla said during the signing ceremony. With the joint circular, Remulla said: “We expect an additional 1,173 prosecutors and 364 prosecution attorneys to augment our prosecution offices throughout the country.”
“To ensure that the services provided by our prosecution offices nationwide continues, we allotted P6.8 billion in funds under the proposed national budget for next year,” Pangandaman said.“With total court dockets reaching 1.1 million cases for the past six years, our public prosecutors are deluged, if not overburdened, by an ever increasing case load that has inversely impacted our 246 prosecution offices nationwide,” he said.
