SC opens one-stop shop for court concerns

MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court has opened a one-stop shop for court concerns to systematize and organize the workflow of processes in the SC.

According to the SC Public Information Office, the one-stop shop houses the Judicial Records office (JRO), Fiscal Management and Budget Office and the Office of the Bar Confidant (OBC).

It is located at the gate of the new SC building on Padre Faura street, Manila.

The high court said the receiving section of the JRO remains to be the one-stop shop’s dominant function, for which separate windows have been designated for those filing initial pleadings and petitions.

There is also an area for the OBC to receive requests for certifications such as for Bar memberships, ratings, good standing (no pending case), verification and Bar examinations abroad, as well as to receive administrative cases and complaints against lawyers.
