Re: Creation of Two [2] Additional Branches of the RTC at Sta. Rosa City, Laguna
On December 11, 2012, the Philippine Supreme Court approved the creation of two additional Regional Trial Court (RTC) branches in Sta. Rosa City, Laguna, as per Republic Act No. 10162. This resolution includes the establishment of an Office of the Clerk of Court and various positions to support the new branches, designated as RTC Branches 101 and 102. The Court directed the Office of Administrative Services to coordinate with the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) for the necessary funding and staffing requirements. Additionally, the organization of these new branches will be put on hold until the DBM releases the required budget allocations. Lastly, all court records will be amended to reflect these changes.
