The Sandiganbayan is a special appellate collegial court in the Philippines that

particularly graft and corruption
The **Supreme Court** in the Philippines is the highest court in the country. It
is composed of a Chief Justice and fourteen Associate Justices, who are
appointed by the President from a list of at least three nominees prepared by
the Judicial and Bar Council for every vacancy, without need of confirmation by
the Commission on Appointments. The Supreme Court has the power of
judicial review, which means it can declare laws and executive actions
unconstitutional. When a case reaches the Supreme Court, it is important
because the precedent the majority opinion sets is then the standard by which
future laws are measured. That’s due to the principle of “stare decisis,” Latin
for “to stand by a decision,” where a current court should be bound by
previous rulings .
Ang **Kataas-taasang Hukuman** sa Pilipinas ay ang pinakamataas na
hukuman sa bansa. Binubuo ito ng Punong Mahistrado at labing-apat na
Associate Justices, na itinalaga ng Pangulo mula sa isang listahan ng hindi
kukulangin sa tatlong nominado na inihanda ng Judicial and Bar Council para sa
bawat bakante, nang walang pangangailangan ng pagkumpirma ng
Commission on Appointments. Ang Kataas-taasang Hukuman ay may
kapangyarihan ng judicial review, na nangangahulugang maaari nitong ideklara
ang mga batas at mga aksyon ng ehekutibo na hindi konstitusyonal. Kapag ang
isang kaso ay narating ang Kataas-taasang Hukuman, mahalaga ito dahil ang
precedent na itinatakda ng karamihan ng opinyon ay magiging pamantayan ng
mga susunod na batas. Ito ay dahil sa prinsipyo ng "stare decisis," Latin para sa
"to stand by a decision," kung saan dapat na nakatali ang kasalukuyang
hukuman sa mga nakaraang desisyon .

branch is responsible for interpreting the Constitution and federal laws,
resolving disputes, and upholding justice. It is composed of the Supreme Court,
which is the highest court in the country, and other lower courts. The Supreme

The legislative branch is one of the three branches of the government in the
Philippines, alongside the executive and judicial branches. It is responsible for
creating, developing, and modifying the laws of the country. The legislative
power is vested in the Congress of the Philippines, which consists of a Senate
and a House of Representatives. The Senate is composed of twenty-four
senators who are elected at large by the qualified voters of the Philippines,
while the House of Representatives is composed of not more than 250
members, 20% of whom must be party-list representatives. The legislative
process involves crafting laws through bills and resolutions. Bills are laws in the
making that pass into law when they are approved by both houses and the
President of the Philippines. Resolutions convey principles and sentiments of
the Senate or the House of Representatives.
The legislative branch also has the power of impeachment, which is the
process of removing public officials from office for misconduct

orders, but they are subject to review by the judicial branch of government
