LEGAZPI CITY: While the Supreme
Court has brought “Justice on Wheels” right at the doorstep of
the poor people, there are 2,000 salas throughout the country
lacking judges, which has resulted to a backlog of cases in local
courts nationwide, observed Chief Justice Reynato Puno,
“This is true in regions or
areas with peace in order problems, where they have to deal with
insurgency or the MILF. There are precently 19 percent backlog cases
all over the country. The backlog is more serious in the trial
courts than the appellate courts,” Puno said.
