This concerns the procedures for prefiling with the Legal Service of ERC.
Please be informed that Legal Service (LS) is already conducting prefiling
electronically. As a matter of procedure, please complete the technical filing first before requesting for legal prefiling. As such, LS will require a certification from the ERC Technical Service (ROS/MOS, whichever is concerned) confirming that the technical prefiling has been completed.
Electronic Prefilings by LS will only be accepted and processed from Tuesdays
to Thursdays. Please submit your (1) documents for prefiling compressed and stored into a Zip file and (2) the ROS/MOS certification or duly accomplished checklist signed by the ERC technical staff, as attachments to your email request. Kindly indicate also the name and email address of your representative authorized to conduct prefiling with ERC.
Without the attached certification or duly accomplished checklist, LS will
automatically endorse your documents for technical prefiling. In the event that only the certification or duly accomplished checklist is attached, LS will return your request and require the submission of all the necessary documents. Please send your request for legal prefiling to the following dedicated LS prefiling email: legal.prefiling.erc.gov.ph@gmail.com.
Following the completion of the prefiling, a Statement of Account will be
prepared and sent back to your authorized representative with instructions on how to pay the docket fees. Once you have paid the docket fees, please submit to LS your proof of payment together with a covering letter requesting LS to transmit your prefiled documents to our Office of General Counsel for purposes of filing the application and docketing.
