 PRESS RELEASE | Hiring of 178 new public attorneys makes justice, legal services more inclusive – Remulla

Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” C. Remulla is eagerly anticipating the hiring of new additional lawyers for the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) to boost the services of the agency for the benefit of more unprivileged Filipinos in need of legal representation, aid and counselling.

This comes after the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has approved the creation of 178 new Public Attorney (PA) positions across the country.

Under the new plantilla, there will be 122 PA I and 56 PA 2 positions to be designated in different PAO offices nationwide requiring an annual budget of P336-million.

This positive development in the country’s legal system is part of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr.’s Bagong Pilipinas governance campaign to assure that no Filipino will be left behind towards the nation’s path to progress.

“Gone are the days when some may think that access to justice in the Philippines is exclusively for the wealthy. Today, under the Bagong Pilipinas political vision, we level the playing field between the rich and the poor in terms of having access to legal services,” the Secretary underscored.

“I also would like to extend my appreciation to Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman in going the extra mile to address the legal needs of our country,” said Sec Remulla.
