Corruption task force turns over to SC complaints against court personnel – Sec Guevarra

Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra (TOTO LOZANO/PRESIDENTIAL PHOTO /MANILA BULLETIN) But Guevarra said the complaints have been forwarded to the Supreme Court (SC) since TFAC is aware of the court’s Judicial Integrity Board (JIB) which has exclusive jurisdiction. When asked if some of the complaints involved justices and judges, Guevarra said: “The last time I checked, it was less than five (complaints) and involved low-ranking court personnel only. “I suppose people generally know where to complain if the persons involved are judges or justices.” Last year, the SC activated its JIB, which, together with the Corruption Prevention and Investigation Office (CPIO), was created in 2018 to run after the so-called misfits in the judiciary.
