| Video Discription | What is a subpoena and what does it mean when you receive one from the prosecutor’s office? Does it mean jail time? In this video, Your_Lawyer talks about: Subpoena from the Prosecutor Preliminary Investigation Complaint Affidavit Counter-Affidavit Resolution Warrant of Arrest Court Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) Private Lawyer Private Attorney Defence Attorney Criminal Procedure Criminal law Guidelines of the Public Attorneys Office (PAO): (Taken from https://pao.gov.ph/page.php?id=28) A. PERSONS QUALIFIED FOR LEGAL ASSISTANCE Under R. A. 9406, the PAO shall independently discharge its mandate to render, free of charge, legal representation, assistance and counselling to indigent persons in criminal, civil, labor, administrative and other quasi-judicial cases. In the exigency of the service, the PAO may be called upon by proper government authorities to render such service to other persons, subject to existing laws, rules and regulations.” The Merit Test Under PAO M.C. No. 18 series of 2002, a case shall be considered meritorious if an assessment of the law and evidence on hand discloses that the legal services of the office will assist or be in aid of or in the furtherance of justice, taking into consideration the interests of the party and those of the society. In such cases, the Public Attorney should agree to represent the party concerned. On the other hand, a case is deemed unmeritorious if it appears that it has no chance of success, or is intended merely to harass or injure the opposite party or to work oppression or wrong. In such situation, the Public Attorney must decline the handling of the case. A Public Attorney may represent an indigent client even if his cause of action is adverse to a public officer, government office, agency or instrumentality provided the case is meritorious. Caution should however be exercised that the office be not exposed to charges of harassment, unfairness or undue haste in the filing of suits. In criminal cases, the accused enjoys the constitutional presumption of innocence until the contrary is proven. Hence, cases of defendants in criminal actions are considered meritorious. The Indigency Test Pursuant to PAO MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 02 Series of 2010 dated January 27, 2010 and entitled as "AMENDING SECTIONS 3, 4, and 5, ARTICLE II OF MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 18, S. 2002 (Amended Standard Office Procedures in Extending Legal Assistance)" in relation to the provisions of Republic Act (RA) No. 9406 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, the Indigency Test set forth in Section 3, Article II, MC No. 18, S. 2002, is hereby amended to read as follows: Indigency Test. – Taking into consideration recent surveys on the amount needed by an average Filipino family to (a) buy its “food consumption basket” and (b) pay for its household and personal expenses, the following applicant shall be considered as an indigent person: 1. If residing in Metro Manila, whose net income does not exceed Php14,000.00 a month; 2. If residing in other cities, whose net income does not exceed Php13,000.00 a month; 3. If residing in other places, whose net income does not exceed Php 12,000.00 a month. The term “net income” as herein employed shall be understood to refer to the income of the litigant less statutory deductions. Statutory deductions shall refer to withholding taxes, GSIS, SSS, Pag-Ibig, Health Insurance and Philhealth premiums as well as mandatory deductions. For purposes of this Section, ownership of land shall not per se constitute a ground for disqualification of an applicant for free legal assistance in view of the ruling in Juan Enaje vs. Victorio Ramos, et al. (31 SCRA 141, G.R. No. L-22109, January 30, 1970) that the determinative factor for indigency is the income of the litigant and not his ownership of real property. To ensure that only those qualified shall be extended free legal assistance, the applicant shall be required to execute an Affidavit of Indigency and to submit any of the following documents: 1. Latest Income Tax Return or pay slip or other proofs of income; or 2. Certificate of Indigency from the Department of Social Welfare and Development, its local District Office, or the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office having jurisdiction over the residence of the applicant; or 3. Certificate of Indigency from the Barangay Chairman having jurisdiction over the residence of the applicant. PAO lawyers and personnel shall exercise diligence in ascertaining the indigency qualification of said applicant/s. ___________________ Attributions: • All background music/sounds were provided by Splice.com by paid subscription. • Video clips were provided by Invideo.io also by paid subscription. • Illustrations were created using Doodly.
