Submission of Report on the Appearance of Mr. Remberto Kara-an, Sr., as Counsel in Any Case Pending Before the Courts
OCA Circular No. 110-10, dated August 13, 2010, mandates all Executive Judges of the First and Second Level Courts in Metro Manila to report on Remberto Kara-an, Sr.'s appearances as counsel in any pending cases. This directive follows a previous resolution emphasizing the need for compliance, which had seen limited response from the judges. Only a few courts in Makati and Manila had submitted the required information. The current circular establishes a deadline of fifteen days for judges to submit their reports, reinforcing the necessity for strict adherence to the directive.
