MANILA, Philippines — Four Regional Trial Courts (RTCs) in Pasig City are now under San Juan City’s jurisdiction, following the passage of Republic Act (RA) 12121, the Supreme Court (SC) said on Thursday.
Based on an advisory by the SC public information office, Pasig City RTC Branches 68, 160, 162, and 264 are now RTC branches for San Juan City.
The law also paved the way for the creation of additional RTCs and two Metropolitan Trial Courts in San Juan City.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signed RA 12121 on Feb. 13.
Under the law, the funding for its implementation as well as appropriations for personnel services such as salaries, benefits, and emoluments will be included in the annual General Appropriations Act.
However, the funds for the operations of the new courts will only be released upon the actual organization of the court and the appointment of its personnel.
