[1] The
numbers
of all Branches of the Regional Trial Courts in the thirteen [13]

numeral
system;
[2] The
present numbering
of every existing RTC Branch as provided for in B. P. 129 shall be
maintained
but in Arabic numeral system;
[3] The
present seats
established under B. P. 129 and administrative orders issued by the
Supreme

[5] The
additional
Branches provided for under Republic Act No. 7154 shall be organized
and

units shows that there is a need for the additional Branches to be
operational.cralaw
