Answer:The Philippine Judiciary is a hierarchical organization consisting of four levels, with the Supreme Court at the top tier exercising administrative supervision over all courts and court personnel and wielding jurisdiction to “review, revise, reverse, modify, or affirm on appeal or certiorari, as the law or the Rules of Court may provide, final judgments or orders of lower courts” cases specified in Article VIII, section 5(2) of the 1987 Constitution. Within each level, the courts are coordinate and equal and do not enjoy review jurisdiction over each other’s decisions, resolutions, writs, and processes. The third level courts are collegiate courts, working in divisions of at least three Justices; the second and first level courts are single-judge courts and are the trial courts and finders of fact at the first instance.
Under the 1973 constitution, the Supreme Court, composed of a chief justice and 14 associate justices, was the highest judicial body of the state, with supervisory authority over the lower courts. The entire court system was revamped in 1981, with the creation of new regional courts of trials and of appeals. Justices at all levels were appointed by the president. Philippine courts functioned without juries. Delays in criminal cases were common, and detention periods in national security cases were long. Security cases arising during the period of martial law (1972–81) were tried in military courts. The 1987 constitution restored the system to what it had been in 1973. Despite the reinstitution of many procedural safeguards and guarantees, the slow pace of justice continues to be a major problem.
