MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF JUSTICE
United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall
once wrote that “[t]he very essence of civil liberty certainly
consists in the right of every individual to claim the protection
of the laws whenever he receives an injury. One of the first
duties of government is to afford that protection.”1
Each branch of our government plays a crucial role in safeguarding our

people’s rights and the freedom that they enjoy. As retired Associate Justice
Romeo Callejo, Sr. succinctly explained in one of his separate opinions:
The tripartite system ordained by our fundamental law divides governmental powers
into three distinct but co-equal branches: the legislative, executive and judicial.
Legislative power, vested in Congress which is a bicameral body consisting of the
House of Representatives and the Senate, is the power to make laws and to alter them
at discretion. Executive power, vested in the President who is directly elected by the
people, is the power to see that the laws are duly executed and enforced. Judicial power,
vested in the Supreme Court and the lower courts, is the power to construe and apply
the law when controversies arise concerning what has been done or omitted under it.2
The principal function of the courts is the interpretation of the law applicable to
actual disputes among parties and to settle such justiciable controversies fairly,
efficiently and with finality. It is in this manner that the Judiciary contributes
to the maintenance of peace and order in our democratic republic. Through the
efforts of the Special Judiciary-Wide Committee on the Annual Report and the
Supreme Court’s Public Information Office, this 2017 Judiciary Annual Report
has been produced to outline the accomplishments of the Judiciary for past year
with respect to the adjudication of judicial cases (with additional information
on matters of special concern to the public such as gender-related cases, cases
involving women and children, drug-related cases, and cases with economic
impact), as well as the disposition of administrative cases against members of the
Bench and the Bar and court personnel. The Report likewise includes statistics

In one decision, the Court En Banc had the occasion to state that the three
court practices and systems branches of government are “considered separate, co-equal, coordinate
with a view to fulfilling the and supreme within their respective spheres but, imbued with a system of
Judiciary’s constitutional checks and balances to prevent unwarranted exercise of power.”3 Even
as the Supreme Court recognizes its solemn part in the system of checks
responsibility to the impartial and balances in our government, this does not mean that the Judiciary’s
and timely adjudication relationship with the political branches of the State must necessarily be
adversarial. The three main branches of government must work in harmony

MESSAGE
Ordained and promulgated by the sovereign Filipino people,
the 1987 Constitution serves as the basic and paramount law to
which all other laws must conform. As can be gleaned from its Preamble,
the 1987 Constitution was established in order to build a just and humane
society and establish a government that embodies the ideals and aspirations of the
Filipino people. It was enacted in order to promote the common good, conserve
and develop the nation’s patrimony, and secure to the Filipino people and their
posterity the blessings of independence and democracy under the Rule of Law and
a regime of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace. Being the highest law
of the land, it is elementary that all persons, including the highest officials of the
land, accede to the 1987 Constitution. It cannot be gainsaid that constitutional
principles and doctrines must be respected at all times. They cannot be subjected
to the whims and caprices of the government and its officials who run it.
No less than the 1987 Constitution confers the power of judicial review on
the Judicial Branch of the government. Section 1, Article VIII of the 1987
Constitution provides that judicial power includes “the duty of the courts of
justice to settle actual controversies involving rights which are legally demandable
and enforceable, and to determine whether or not there has been a grave abuse
of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction on the part of any
branch or instrumentality of the government.” Notably, the aforesaid provision
in the 1987 Constitution introduced the concept of the expanded certiorari
jurisdiction of the courts of justice, ensuring the potency and power of judicial
review to curb grave abuse of discretion by any branch or instrumentality of the
government. Under their expanded certiorari jurisdiction, courts of justice are able
to determine the limits of power of the agencies and offices of the government.
In the case of Angara vs. Electoral Commission (63 Phil. 139, 15 July
1936), it was held that “in cases of conflict, the Judicial Department is
the only constitutional organ which can be called upon to determine the
proper allocation of powers between the several departments and among
