3)Administrative

cases/actions the purpose of
which is the enforcement or
protection of a private right or
redress of a wrong
-usually involve private disputes
between persons or organizations.

In what of the following cases
may a person be imprisoned?

1. Administrative Case
2. Civil Case
3.Criminal Case
Does the Court of Law always
give you JUSTICE?
The Sides of a CONTROVERSY:

1. Yours
2. The Other
3. And the TRUTH
 No person shall be denied of
Life, Liberty or Property
without due process of law,
nor shall any person be denied
the equal protection of the
laws. (bill of rights, Art. III, Section
1, Philippine Constitution)
 Fact or Myth
• The Barangay Officials have inadequate
knowledge of the Katarungang
Pambarangay Law
• The Lupon members cannot distinguish a
criminal from a civil case
• The Punong Barangay is bias and favors a
party
 Fact or Myth
• The Punong Barangay does not know the
importance of a COMPLAINT FORM
• People go to the barangay to ask for
Certification to File Action
• People go to the barangay because their
egos were hurt
 THE
KATARUNGANG
PAMBARANGAY
LAW
 SALIENT FEATURE
Compels the parties to avail
themselves of the conciliation
system as a PREREQUISITE OR A
CONDITION PRECEDENT to
judicial recourse

Compulsory conciliation is
imposed only upon individuals
who actually RESIDE in the same
city or municipality
 SALIENT FEATURE
KP is a system for the
amicable settlement of
disputes at the barangay
level

It is never the purpose of the

barangay justice system to
determine who is right or wrong
 SALIENT FEATURE

KP discourages a lawyer to
appear at the Lupon except
if he is a respondent

KP involves cases which are limited

to misdemeanors (those punishable
by not more than one (1) year or fine
of not more than Five Thousand
Pesos (Php 5,000.00)
 Punishable by imprisonment of 1 year and
below or fine of 5,000.00 and below
PENALTIES IMPRISONMENT
1.Arresto menor - from 1 day to 30 days
2.Arresto mayor - from 1 month and 1 day
to 6 months
3. Prision correctional - from 6 months and 1 day
to 2 years and 4 months
(minimun period)
Reference: Revised Penal Code or Act No. 3185
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

It promotes the speedy administration of justice

It implements the constitutional mandate to

preserve and develop Filipino culture and to
strengthen the family as a basic social institution

It helps relieve the courts of docket congestion and

thereby enhance the quality of justice dispensed by
them ( Moreta vs. Go 125 SCRA 444)
