MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0—\u00a0The European Union (EU) on Friday donated 70 laptops worth PHP3 million to the Supreme Court (SC) to support the latter’s digital court hearings amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe provision of the laptops aims at helping the court system to deliver justice and reduce the backlogs created by the Covid-19 pandemic. I hope that the videoconferencing for court proceedings could continue beyond the crisis to contribute to a more effective justice system,” Thomas Wiersing, Charg\u00e9 d’Affaires of the European Union Delegation to the Philippines, said during the virtual turnover.<\/p>\n

The donation, made through EU’s Governance in Justice (GOJUST) program, follows the recent turnover of 120 multi-media tablets and different kinds of personal protective equipment to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology.<\/p>\n

The EU Delegation in Manila said a total of PHP10 million has so far been mobilized through the GOJUST program to support justice sector agencies in their response to Covid-19.<\/p>\n

As early as August 2019, the program has supported the Supreme Court in videoconferencing hearings in the Davao City justice zone.<\/p>\n

“The lessons from the successful pilot in Davao allowed the Supreme Court to respond quickly to the Covid-19 pandemic,” it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
