"The
Commission may sit en banc or in five (5) divisions, each
composed
of three (3) members. Subject to the penultimate sentence of this
paragraph,
the Commission shall sit en banc only for purposes of
promulgating
rules and regulations governing the hearing and disposition of cases
before
any of its divisions and regional branches and formulating policies
affecting
its administration and operations. The Commission shall exercise its
adjudicatory
and all other powers, functions, and duties through its divisions. Of
the
five (5) divisions, the first, second and third divisions shall handle
cases coming from the National Council Region and other parts of Luzon:
and the fourth and fifth divisions, cases from the Visayas and
Mindanao,
respectively: Provided, That the Commission sitting en banc
may, on temporary or emergency basis allow cases within the
jurisdiction
of any division to be heard and decided by any other division whose
docket
allows the additional workload and such transfer will not expose
litigants
to unnecessary additional expense. The divisions of the Commission
shall
have exclusive appellate jurisdiction over cases within their
respective
territorial jurisdiction."

letters
of implementation, rules and regulations or part or parts thereof

or amended accordingly.
