MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court (SC) launched yesterday its Judiciary Public Assistance Section (JPAS) to address complaints about questionable conduct of judges and delayed court proceedings.
A pet project of Chief Justice Diosdado Peralta, the JPAS is composed of three units: the help desk, hotline and e-mail messaging.
The JPAS will serve as the “official line of communication between the judiciary, its stakeholders and the public,” Peralta said.
It is under the direct supervision of the office of the Chief Justice.
Peralta said the help desk would provide assistance and information as well as address questions from judiciary stakeholders and the public.
Queries and complaints may be coursed through JPAS hotline numbers (02) 8 526-6185, (02) 8 552-9644 and (02) 8 552-9646 and e-mail address chiefjusticehelpdesk@sc.judiciary.gov.ph.
