[edit] Rule of Law, First in Philippine History

I created this MOA created body on May 13, 2008, a First in Philippine History Council. I ask editors to expand this in due course. --Florentino floro (talk) 11:02, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] C.J. Panganiban's tracing of historical origin

I added this very rich historical thesis of C.J. Panganiban, for a historical picture of Jelac, its predecessors: History: The 21st Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban traced Jelacc’s roots from the 1993 proposed similar tripartite council, a body tasked to undertake judicial reforms. Chief Justice Andres Narvasa turned down membership due to legal questions and instead, a deputy court administrator attended the meetings merely as observer, not as member. Narvasa thereafter created the “Blueprint of Action for the Judiciary,” an 18-month consultation or judiciary-wide dialogue, funded by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). Later, Chief Justice Hilario G. Davide Jr. formed the much broader Action Program for Judicial Reforms (APJR), supported by the Philippine government, the UNDP, World Bank and Asian Development Bank, with further assistance from Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, European Union, Japan, the Netherlands and the United States. In Panganiban’s tenure, APJR centered on 4 ACID problems of the judiciary: “(1) Access to justice by the poor; (2) Corruption; (3) Incompetence of some judges; and (4) Delay in the resolution of cases with the 4 Ins: Independence, Integrity, Industry and Intelligence, and with ultimate goals of safeguarding of liberty and the nurturance of prosperity under the rule of law.” Narvasa, Davide and Panganiban’s judicial reforms achieved "the a) the doubling of judicial compensation through Republic Act 9227, b) computerization of the Sandiganbayan and selected trial courts, c) construction of model court houses in Angeles and Lapu Lapu cities, and the d) creation of the unique electronic library, the mobile courts, funded by Japan, and the Tagaytay Philippine Judicial Academy Center in Tagaytay", inter alia. On fiscal independence, the Supreme Court of the Philippines looks to Jelac "as the alternative for the annual budgetary grilling but it limited Jelac’s 'mandate' to its present functions." Panganiban finally criticized Jelac for being “obscured by penumbras of unconstitutionality and impropriety.”Inquirer.net, Agony over Jelac --Florentino floro (talk) 06:36, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Move page to exclude acronym from article title

I suggest that the page be moved to an article title that excludes the acronym per Wikipedia convention. I'd do it, but due respect is extended to the author. — •KvЯt GviЯnЭlБ• ^Speak! 12:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
