The following provisions of the Resolution dated 27 January 2004 in A.M. No. 03-8-02-SC are hereby adopted for your information and guidance:

In stations where there is only a single RTC branch, the Presiding Judge thereof shall automatically be the Executive Judge of the first level courts within his administrative area. (Sec. 1 (a), Chapter II)

The Executive Judges of multiple branch RTCs shall act as Executive Judges of single-branch Metropolitan Trial Courts (MeTCs) and Municipal Trial Courts in Cities (MTCCs) as well as of all Municipal Circuit Trial Courts (MTCs) and Municipal Circuit Trial Courts (MCTCs) within their respective administrative areas. (Sec. 1 (c), Chapter II). SCEDaT

Whenever the Executive Judge is on official leave of absence or is not physically present in the station, the following shall automatically act as Executive Judge:

(a) In single-branch RTC stations, the Executive Judge of the RTC of the nearest station in the province.

 In case there is only one RTC judge in the province, the Executive Judge of the nearest RTC station as determined in the aforementioned Resolution dated 27 January 2004.

(b) In two-branch stations, the remaining judge in the station, and in default of both for the same reasons, the Executive Judge of the same level of the court in the nearest station in the province. The RTC of the nearest station in the province shall be determined in accordance with the aforementioned Resolution.

(c) In multiple-branch stations with three (3) or more branches, the 1st Vice-Executives Judge, and in default for the same reasons, the 2nd Vice-Executive Judge, shall act as Executive Judge. In default of these three (3) judges of the same reasons, as above mentioned, the 3rd Vice-Executive Judge shall act as Executive Judge.

Whenever the Executive Judge and all the Vice-Executive Judges are on official leave of absence or are not physically present in the station, the judge who is the most senior in tenure among the permanent judges in the station shall automatically act as Executive Judge. Should there be two or more judges of equal seniority in the station, the judge who is the most senior in the judiciary shall act as Executive Judge. Should there be two or more judges of equal seniority in the judiciary, the judge who is the most senior in age in the station shall act as Executive Judge.

In all the above instances, the Acting Executive Judge shall so act until the Executive Judge returns or until the detail by the Supreme Court of another Judge who will act as Executive Judge. (Sec. 3, Chapter II)

The Executive Judges and Vice Executive Judges shall serve for a term of two (2) years, unless their designations are revoked earlier by the Supreme Court. They may subsequently be re-designated to the same positions.

Unless the Supreme Court designates another judge as Executive Judge, the following shall automatically become the executive judge in case of the death, retirement, permanent disability, removal from office, the imposition of administrative penalty as provided for in section 5 of this Chapter, resignation or expiration of the term of office of the Executive Judge: aSADIC

(a) The Vice Executive Judge in stations with only one Vice Executive judge;

(b) The 1st Vice Executive Judge in stations with two or more Vice Executive Judges. Should the 1st vice Executive Judge become the Executive Judge pursuant to this Section, the 2nd Vice Executive Judge shall, in turn, also automatically become the 1st Vice Executive Judge, and so on, unless the Supreme Court appoints other judges as 1st, 2nd or 3rd Vice Executive Judges (Sec. 2, Chapter III).

The imposition upon an Executive Judge or Vice Executive Judge of an administrative penalty of at least a reprimand shall automatically operate to divest him of his position as such (Sec. 5, Chapter III).

Executive Judges shall submit their respective annual reports to the Court Management Office, Office of the Court Administrator, on or before 30 January of the following year (Sec. 10, Chapter X).

Promulgated this 4th day of March 2009.
