    REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES

    NATIONAL CAPITAL JUDICIAL REGION


    REGIONAL TRIAL COURT
    BRANCH 282, VALENZUELA CITY

    PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES,

    -versus- CRIM. CASE NO. 1066-V-19


    For: Robbery under Art. 294 (5) of
    DIANNE D. FLORMATA and the Revised Penal code
    LORENA DIO aka TITA PUSING,
    Accused.

    MOTION TO SET HEARING


    THROUGH VIDEO CONFERENCE

    The above-named accused, represented by the Public Attorney’s


    Office, unto this Honorable Court, most respectfully avers as follows:

    1. On 29 May 2020, Chief Justice Diosdado M. Peralta issued


    Administrative Circular No. 41-2020 (Re: Court Operations Beginning
    1 June 2020) which states, among others, that the hearings of
    cases, regardless of the stage of the trial, shall all be in-court,
    except in cases involving Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) who
    shall continue to appear remotely from the detention facility, and in
    cases with extraordinary circumstances as may be determined by
    the justices and judges, which shall be heard through
    videoconferencing.

    2. Subsequently, the Supreme Court Public Information Office released


    an Announcement dated 31 May 2020 in which it said that courts in
    areas under general community quarantine may hold hearings in
    criminal and civil cases through videoconferencing provided that a
    proper motion is filed: “Videoconferencing hearings will continue
    during GCQ. This is authorized by both AC 40-2020 and AC 41-2020
    which were issued by Chief Justice Diosdado M. Peralta. Hence, for
    example, if a party wishes his/her case to be heard via
    videoconferencing, the proper motion just needs to be filed, and the
    court, using its sound discretion, can either grant or deny the
    motion. This remedy is available in both civil and criminal
    cases.”

    3. The instant case is set for the cross-examination of accused Diane


    D. Flormata. After her testimony is terminated, the defense will still
    present accused Lorena Dio alias Tita Pusing, Mikee Flormata and
    Sarali Casinillo. Except for accused Lorena Dio, all of them reside in
    the same place (No. 06 Capitis Compound, Veinte Reales Valenzuela
    City), albeit the former’s residence is proximate to that of the
    Flormata family. Accused Diane D. Flormata informed the
    undersigned public attorney that their house is equipped with
    Converge Fiber internet connection and that she already installed
    Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Teams application on her mobile
    phone. In this regard, in order to safeguard all the parties and their
    counsel as well as the judge and the court staff against the risk of
    possible COVID-19 infection, the defense humbly implores the
    Honorable Court to set the hearing of the above-captioned case
    through video conferencing in lieu of an in-court hearing. Accused
    Diane D. Flormata and Lorena Dio, as well as their witnesses, will
    participate in the video conference by using Diane D. Flormata’s
    mobile phone. The invitation for the video conference may be sent
    by the Honorable Court to accused Diane D. Flormata’s e-mail
    address, that is, [email protected].

    PRAYER

    WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed that


    this motion be granted.

    Other relief and remedies, just and equitable, are likewise prayed
    for.

    Valenzuela City, 8 June 2020.
