PARACELIS, Mountain
Province - The Integrated Bar of the Philippines-Mountain Province
Chapter urged Congress to create a Regional Trial Court to be based in this
remote town.
The IBP officials said
there was need to create additional RTC here to address injustice and to
correct social inequity in said municipality.
In its resolution, the
IBP noted most criminal cases filed at the RTC in Bontoc are originating from
Paracelis and increasing yearly.
Citing records RTC
records, the IBP said criminal cases from Paracelis are being dismissed due to
failure of complainants and their witnesses to appear before the courts to
testify because of their economic condition and hardship travelling to
the RTCs located in the capital town of BOntoc.
Paracelis can be
reached after travelling for more than ten hours fromBontoc passing
through provinces of Ifugao, Nueva Vizcaya and Isabela.
The provincial peace
and order council made a resolution supporting creation of an RTC Branch in
Paracelis.
Both copies of the IBP
and PPOC resolution were forwarded to Rep. MaximoDalog, Sr. and concerned
agencies. – Andrew Dogaong
