EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 326 - AMENDING
Sec. 6 OF EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 856 AND REORGANIZING AND REACTIVATING
THE PROVINCIAL/CITY COMMITTEES ON JUSTICE CREATED THEREUNDER
WHEREAS,
congestion and overcrowding continue to be problem in local jails
brought about by slow disposition of cases in certain instances, and
the inability of those apprehended to secure their provisional
liberty;
WHEREAS, Provincial/City Committees were created under Executive Order
No. 856 precisely to help decongest local jails and to ensure, among
others, that equal, prompt and humanized dispensation of justice is
made available to all, especially to the poor and the helpless;
WHEREAS, the Provincial/City Committees on Justice have become moribund
and inactive, with the change in the political structure of the
government brought about the ratification of the 1987 Constitution,
doing away with the Office of the Prime Minister which formerly
exercised supervision over said committees; and
WHEREAS, there is a need to reactivate once more said Provincial/City
Committees on Justice to help alleviate the living conditions of
detainees and prisoners and decongest local jails;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, CORAZON C. AQUINO, President of the Philippines, by
virtue of the power vested in me by law, do hereby order:
Section 1.
“SEC.
6.
Sec. 2.
DONE in the City of Manila,
this 1st day of June in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and
eighty-eight.
