resolution of Petitions for Review and Motions for Reconsideration thereof filed before
the Office of the Secretary, as well as Automatic Review of dismissed cases involving
violations of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, as amended, and anti-
smuggling laws.

Based on assessment of the initial implementation of the procedures provided

under Department Circular No. 003, s. 2017, as implemented under Department
Circular No. 019, s. 2017,several matters have been identified in the efforts to improve

2017, approving therewith the Revised Guidelines for Continuous Trial of Criminal
Cases. The Guidelines took effect on September 1, 2017.

In light of the implementation of the abovementioned Guidelines for Continuous

Trial, several City Prosecutors in the National Capital Region have requested to be
exempted from their duties under the D.C. Nos. 003 and 019, in order for their
respective prosecution offices to focus on the continuous trial of criminal cases they
are handling.

Accordingly, in the interest of the service, pursuant to provisions of existing

laws, in order to address concerns in the implementation of D.C. Nos. 003 and 019,
