Abstract
This study seeks to determine the efficiency and effectiveness of the Justice for the Poor: Small Claim Cases and Enhanced Justice on Wheels. Specifically, it examined the ease of the implementation system (efficiency), perception of the program by the beneficiaries and implementers in redressing the former’s grievances, accessibility, procedure, duration of litigations, and resolutions of cases in fair and transparent manner (effectiveness). These two mechanisms aimed to benefit both the implementers of the programs and the poor, disadvantaged and the marginalized. This study used both quantitative and qualitative methods using primary sources gathered through actual interviews, litigants and implementers’ feedbacks. Further, analysis of secondary sources of the Summary of Court Docket Records, Supreme Court Circular, Memorandum, Committee Reports and related literatures on Philippine Judicial Reform Programs was done. In the assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of Justice on Wheels (EJOW) and Small Claims Cases (SCC), the UNDP rights-based framework of the programs which are expected to be cost effective sustainable and adequate. EJOW was cost-effective because it incurred no expenditures in Manila City since it was conducted in a container van stationed at the Manila City Jail ground. There were reductions in expenditure on the part of the government in terms of food subsidy for every prisoner provided at the rate of sixty-five pesos (P65.00) daily per inmates. This was brought about by the shortening of litigation period. In SCC, the same cost was applied as in regular civil cases. It required no filing fee for litigant who is declared as indigent with supporting certification from barangay, indicating that their annual income was Five Thousand Pesos P 5,000.00) and below. However the indigent litigant was required to deposit One Thousand Pesos (P1, 000.00) for service of summons. Any excess of the deposited amount was refunded to them. A progressive rate was implemented for more than ten (10) claims filed (Amended in the A.M. No. 08-8-7-SC.)). Filing fee was also required in a regular court for civil cases. 5 The Small Claims Cases is sustainable. A continuous monitoring and evaluation of access to justice is an existing requirement. The Summary of Monthly Small Claims Cases Inventory was undertaken. This was implemented by the Rules to be submitted which provides date of filing, date of summons, date of hearing, date of decision and decision rendered. It was applicable to claims amounting to One Hundred Thousand Pesos (P100, 000.00). The EJOW program
