Avanzado 12:07 PM, Sep 08, 2022 

Good day! 

I would like to request for the number of cases that have been dismissed for being a SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) as defined under the Revised Rules on Environmental Cases (RPEC)(A.M. No. 09-6-8-SC). 

Can I have it categorized by nature, Civil (Rule 6) or Criminal (Rule 19), and the action. (Libel, etc)?
Thank you so much!

P.s. If they can be segregated per region, that would be best!

Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance this Office does not have the information you have requested since court decisions are not under the jurisdiction of the DOJ. The DOJ is under the Executive branch of government while courts are under the Supreme Court (SC) which oversees the Judicial branch of government. To assist you, may we ask you to coordinate with the SC at pio@sc.judiciary.gov.ph.

Thank you.
