vi RULES ON EXPEDITED PROCEDURES IN THE FIRST LEVEL COURTS
SUPREME COURT
FROM THE CHAMBERS OF
Alexander G. Gesmundo
CHIEF JUSTICE
Message
The rights to the speedy resolution of cases and speedy trial have been the essential consideration
of the Supreme Court in promulgating rules of procedure. These Constitutional rights ensure that
every litigant who seeks to enforce or defend their claims before the courts are not unnecessarily
burdened by the rigidities of legal proceedings. Until now, the maxim that “justice delayed is justice
denied” resonates fervently to improve and develop our adjudication process.
The 1991 Revised Rule on Summary Procedure and the 2016 Revised Rules on Small Claims Cases
have been at the forefront to guarantee that civil and criminal cases covered by these Rules shall
be resolved in an accelerated manner, taking into consideration the opportunity of each contending
parties to be heard. These Rules have been proven to assist the litigants in adjudicating their legal
disputes promptly and without needless delay.
When Congress enacted Republic Act No. 11576, which took effect on 21 August 2021 and which
expanded the jurisdictional amount cognizable by the First Level Courts in civil cases to Two
Million Pesos (₱2,000,000.00), among others, it was imperative for the Supreme Court to revive
and constitute the Committee on the Revision of the Rules on Summary Procedure and Small
Claims Cases. The goal of the Committee was not only to adjust the cases covered by these Rules,
but also to incorporate recent developments in procedural and substantive law and jurisprudence, as
well as technological advancements. The members of the Committee have firsthand experience in
resolving civil and criminal cases under the Rules on Summary Procedure and the Rules on Small
Claims Cases. Hence, they have the vital expertise and proficiency to produce the draft Rules in line
with the objectives of the Court.
Through the collective efforts of the Committee, with Associate Justice Henri Jean Paul B. Inting,
as Committee Chairperson, Associate Justice Samuel H. Gaerlan as Committee Vice Chairperson,
and its esteemed members and secretariat, they were able to timely submit the proposed Rules to the
Supreme Court En Banc. In turn, the members of the Court thoroughly deliberated the provisions to
MESSAGES vii
ensure that the essence of the speedy resolution of cases and speedy trial are intact and resolute. In
record time, the Supreme Court En Banc approved the Rules on Expedited Procedures in the First
Level Courts in A.M. No. 08-8-7-SC on 1 March 2022.
I am pleased to present the Rules on Expedited Procedures in the First Level Courts, which have
incorporated both the Rule on Summary Procedure and the Rules on Small Claims Cases. It is the
avid objective of the Supreme Court that these Rules be applied meticulously by the members of
the bench and the bar, and the general public, so as to reinforce that every civil and criminal case
covered by these Rules shall be resolved appropriately without unwarranted delay. The Rules will
apply prospectively and will take effect on 11 April 2022.

Message
As the Chairperson of the Committee on the Revision of the Rules on Summary Procedure and
Small Claims Cases (Committee), I am proud of the Rules on Expedited Procedures in the First
Level Courts. Taking effect on 11 April 2022, the Rules reflect the Court’s continuing commitment
to constantly develop and improve laws on procedure geared towards enhancing the efficiency of
judicial administration and giving effective service to the public. Guided by this perennial objective,
the members of the Committee did not merely confine the revisions of the 1991 Revised Rule on
Summary Procedure and 2016 Revised Rules on Small Claims Cases to the jurisdictional amount
adjustment mandated by Republic Act No. 11576.
I highly commend the efforts of the Committee in deliberately and exhaustively taking into
consideration the on the ground experiences availing in the first and second level courts, as shared
by the members representing said courts, as well as the relevant recent jurisprudence and issuance
of other relevant rules of procedure. Recalibrating, reconciling, and harmonizing the coverage of the
Revised Rules on Summary Procedure and Small Claims, the Rules now provide for a very efficient
and expedited procedure governing both summary procedure and small claims cases. Particularly,
there would be a more simplified, inexpensive, and speedier disposition of small claims cases as the
Rules introduce technological innovations and best practices for the benefit of the underprivileged
and the court users in general.
To optimize the execution and purpose of the Rules, this publication facilitated by the Philippine
Judicial Academy incorporates the text of the Rules, a comparative matrix of the old vis-à-vis the rules
on expedited procedures for the guidance of judges, updated Small Claims Forms with translations in
Filipino and Visayan for ease of use, and Flowcharts and Timeline for Summary Procedure and Small
Claims cases underscoring how expedited and efficient the new procedures are.
I am positive that this publication will help pave the way for achieving the Court’s objective of
ensuring simplified, inexpensive, and speedier disposition of cases.

Message
The Court continues to embark on efforts to speed up the disposition of cases without sacrificing
the quality of adjudication and depriving litigants of the opportunity to be heard and to seek the
appropriate reliefs. Rules of procedure remain a work in progress, evolving along with the changing
circumstances and the ever-growing needs of stakeholders.
The Revised Rules on Summary Procedure and Small Claims Cases, promulgated in 1991 and
2016, respectively, are perhaps the centerpiece of the Court’s drive to make justice more accessible
to more Filipinos, as well as micro, small and medium enterprises that comprise 99 percent of
the corporations in the country. Ordinary individuals, small businesses and informal sectors deal
with routine transactions and get involved in small-scale disputes that do not involve intricate or
complicated questions of fact and law. When sufficient guidance exists in the body of jurisprudence,
trial courts, as frontliners in the administration of justice, ideally should be able to identify and
apply the relevant doctrines to cases brought before them with dispatch.
With the pandemic highlighting the need for simplified proceedings that will not be hampered
severely by unexpected work interruptions, it is very timely that the Court has come up with the
new Rules on Expedited Procedures in the First Level Courts.
The Rules on Expedited Procedures in the First Level Courts arose from the need to recalibrate,
reconcile, and harmonize the coverage of the Revised Rules on Summary Procedure and Small
Claims Cases. Under the new Rules, the jurisdictional amount in covered civil actions and
complaints for damages is increased to ₱2,000,000.00, and small claims cases to ₱1,000,000.00;
the definition of small claims cases is also fleshed out and is clarified to exclude actions seeking
claims or reliefs other than the payment or reimbursement of a sum of money. The new Rules also
now provide for the enforcement of barangay amicable settlement agreements and the revival of
judgment of any first level court.
Most strikingly, the new Rules shall govern the criminal and civil aspects of violations of Batas
Pambansa Blg. 22 (the Bouncing Checks Law). The jurisdictional threshold in criminal cases is
x RULES ON EXPEDITED PROCEDURES IN THE FIRST LEVEL COURTS

increased to those punishable by imprisonment not exceeding one year and/or a fine not exceeding
₱50,000.00 (or ₱150,000.00 in cases involving damage to property through criminal negligence).
The Rules also provide for innovations, such as the presumption that motions for postponement are
dilatory, the inclusion of motions for and complaints in intervention among the prohibited pleadings,
the option for the courts to set the case for videoconference hearing, the option of electronic service
with the consent of the parties, the emphasis on exploring amicable settlement in civil cases, and
the option for the public prosecutor to submit the written sworn statements of the complainant
and/or the witnesses prepared by law enforcement agents or submitted during preliminary
investigation, among others.
As Vice Chairperson of the Committee on the Revision of the Rules on Summary Procedure and
Small Claims, I am very proud to be part of this significant undertaking which aimed not only to
adjust the jurisdictional amounts but also to provide mechanisms to improve the legal framework
and relieve the points of congestion in the proceedings as much as possible. The Court can only
move forward and ensure that the fundamental goals of improving and equalizing access to judicial
processes, de-clogging the dockets, eliminating inefficiencies, and preventing abuse shall always
be within reach.
I have mentioned before that the Judiciary needs to exert all efforts to curb entropy in our system
for administration of justice by infusing new energy in the form of reform. I am confident that our
committee has done that, but it is up to every one of us to ensure that we continue to have the zeal
to serve the people. There should be no reason to resort to improper and abusive methods when we
assure the people of the availability of the lawful channels to assert and defend their rights.

Message
The Rules on Expedited Procedures in the First Level Courts is the latest initiative of the Supreme
Court in its pursuit of simplifying and expediting court proceedings and its commitment to
continuously enhance access to justice. Many people forego judicial remedies due to lengthy trials
and costly legal representation. The small claims procedure was first established precisely to
address these obstacles and empower the common person, especially the poor and marginalized,
to seek redress from the courts for the most common of legal problems, the collection of a sum of
money.
To respond to current developments and the evolving needs of our court users, the procedures were
transformed to integrate best practices and lessons learned, current laws, rules, jurisprudence, and
advancements in technology. Apart from increasing the threshold to accommodate more small
claims of up to One Million Pesos, the small claims forms were revised and updated for ease of use
and accomplishment, guidelines incorporated to help increase awareness of rights and remedies,
and translations in Filipino and some local dialects made readily available for better understanding.
The Rules likewise make it easier for litigants to attend hearings by making videoconferencing
available, even through the use of popular and widely-used platforms.
It is hoped that the Rules encourage the public, and make it easier for them, to use the courts for
the protection and enforcement of their rights. As the nature of rules is one of constant process, the
Court shall continue to develop these rules to ensure their responsiveness and efficiency in an ever-
changing landscape.

COURT OF APPEALS

Maria Filomena D. Singh
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE
Message
The Rule on Summary Procedure and the Rule on Small Claims Cases, since their origination, have
always had the same objective: expedited proceedings. When these two Rules were promulgated in
1983 and 2008, respectively, the expected net effect was the speedier resolution of covered cases.
Promulgated 25 years apart, it can be said that the Rule on Small Claims Cases is the offspring of the
Rule on Summary Procedure, the more radical and progressive one.
The Rule on Summary Procedure was the first rule of its kind in our procedural landscape. At
its inception, the vision was to shorten the process of adjudication in cases which are considered
simple, both as to nature and reliefs, as well as legal issues. The purpose remains the same until the
present, but 40 years have seen many changes, including in jurisdictional purview and technological
advances. These developments have rendered the original formulation of the rule less efficacious,
thus necessitating its long overdue revision.
On the other hand, the Rule on Small Claims Cases has been judicial reform’s showstopper since its
adoption. For the first time in the history of the Court, we have a rule that only allows one day for
hearing and judgment. We also prohibited appeals from decisions in small claims cases, limiting the
remedy to a Rule 65 petition. This was prompted by our experiences in Summary Procedure, where
you have a decision in ejectment, for instance, which is secured in less than six months, but which
goes all the way up to the Supreme Court through various modes of review, taking years to be finally
terminated. The objective of the Summary Rule is therefore defeated. Although we addressed this in
Small Claims, the majority of First Level Court Cases fall under the Rule on Summary Procedure.
Thus, the initiative of the Chief Justice Hon. Alexander G. Gesmundo to integrate the Rule on
Summary Procedure and the Rule on Small Claims Cases into one rule: the Rules on Expedited
Procedures in the First Level Courts. It is aligned with the Chief Justice’s goal of codifying all the
procedural rules into one physical whole, to make it more user-friendly, for the benefit of the lawyers
and the litigants, our own judges, and even our law students. With the Rules on Expedited Procedures
in the First Level Courts, the goal of “delivering justice real time” is now a step closer.

rentals sought to be recovered. Where attorney’s fees are awarded, the same shall not exceed
One Hundred Thousand Pesos (₱100,000.00).
(b) All civil actions, except probate proceedings, admiralty and maritime actions, and small claims
cases falling under Rule IV hereof, where the total amount of the plaintiff’s claim does not

where the money claim exceeds One Million Pesos (₱1,000,000.00), provided that no execution
has been enforced by the barangay within six (6) months from the date of the settlement or date
of receipt of the award or from the date the obligation stipulated or adjudged in the arbitration
award becomes due and demandable, pursuant to Section 417, Chapter VII of Republic Act
No. 7160, otherwise known as The Local Government Code of 1991.
(e) Cases solely for the revival of judgment of any Metropolitan Trial Court, Municipal Trial

All other cases not included herein shall be governed by the regular rules of procedure.
(2) Small Claims Cases, as defined hereunder, where the claim does not exceed One Million Pesos
(₱1,000,000.00), exclusive of interest and costs.
A “small claim” is an action that is purely civil in nature where the claim or relief raised by the

other claims or reliefs aside from payment or reimbursement of a sum of money and those coupled
with provisional remedies.
The claim or demand may be:
(a) For money owed under any of the following:
1. Contract of Lease;
2. Contract of Loan and other credit accommodations;
3. Contract of Services; or

Chapter VII of Republic Act No. 7160, otherwise known as The Local Government Code
of 1991.

imprisonment not exceeding one (1) year, or a fine not exceeding Fifty Thousand Pesos
(₱50,000.00), or both, regardless of other imposable penalties, accessory or otherwise,

through criminal negligence under Article 365 of the Revised Penal Code, this Rule shall
govern where the imposable fine does not exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand Pesos
(₱150,000.00).
If the prescribed penalty consists of imprisonment and/or a fine, the prescribed imprisonment
shall be the basis for determining the applicable procedure.
All other cases not included herein shall be governed by the regular rules of procedure.
Sec. 2. Non-applicability. – These Rules shall not apply to civil cases where the plaintiff’s cause of
action is pleaded in the same complaint with another cause of action subject to the regular procedure;
nor to criminal cases where the offense charged is necessarily related to another criminal case subject
to the regular procedure.
RULE II
GENERAL COMMON PROVISIONS
Section 1. Applicability of the regular rules. – The regular procedure prescribed in the Rules of Court
shall apply to the cases covered by these Rules where no specific provision is found herein. It shall

so far as not inconsistent. In case of inconsistency, these Rules shall prevail.
Sec. 2. Prohibited pleadings and motions. – The following pleadings, motions, or petitions shall not
be allowed in cases governed by these Rules:
(a) In civil cases, a motion to dismiss the complaint or the statement of claim, and in criminal

RULE III
THE RULE ON SUMMARY PROCEDURE
A. CIVIL CASES
Section 1. Pleadings and verification.– The only pleadings allowed to be filed are the complaint,
compulsory counterclaim, cross-claim pleaded in the answer, and reply, as provided in Section 8 of
this Rule.
All pleadings shall be verified.
Sec. 2. Form and contents of pleadings. – All pleadings submitted under this Rule shall comply with
Rule 7 of the 2019 Amendments to the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure.
All cases requiring prior referral to barangay conciliation must contain a statement of
compliance, pursuant to Chapter VII, Title I, Book III of Republic Act No. 7160. Where there is no
showing of compliance with such requirement, the complaint shall be dismissed without prejudice,
on the court’s own initiative or upon motion by the defendant, and may be re-filed only after the
requirement has been complied with.
Sec. 3. Complaint. – The complaint shall state the following:
(a) The names of the affiants whose judicial affidavits will be presented to prove the plaintiff’s
claim. The judicial affidavits shall be attached to the complaint and form an integral part
thereof. Judicial affidavits not attached to the complaint shall not be considered;
(b) The summary of the statements in the judicial affidavits;
(c) The documentary and other object evidence in support of the allegations in the complaint;
and
(d) Whether the plaintiff consents to service by electronic means or facsimile and, if so, the
plaintiff’s e-mail addresses or facsimile numbers for such purpose.
Sec. 4. Summons. – Within five (5) calendar days from receipt of a new civil case, if the court determines
that the case falls under this Rule, the court shall direct the Branch Clerk to issue summons to the
defendant, stating clearly that the case shall be governed by the Rule on Summary Procedure.
However, if from an examination of the allegations in the initiatory pleading and such evidence
as may be attached thereto, a ground for the outright dismissal of the case is apparent, the court may
dismiss the case on its own initiative. These grounds include lack of subject matter jurisdiction,
improper venue, lack of legal capacity to sue, litis pendentia, res judicata, prescription, failure to state

Rule III
a cause of action, non-submission of a certification against forum shopping, and lack of compliance
with a condition precedent such as absence of barangay conciliation, among others.
A patently erroneous determination to avoid the application of the Rule on Summary Procedure
is a ground for disciplinary action.
Sec. 5. Filing and service. – The rules on filing and service of pleadings under Rule 13 and service
of summons under Rule 14 of the 2019 Amendments to the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure shall be
applicable to cases under this Rule, unless inconsistent.
Sec. 6. Answer. – Within thirty (30) calendar days from service of summons, the defendant shall file
an answer to the complaint and serve a copy thereof on the plaintiff.
The answer shall state the following:
(a) The names of the affiants whose judicial affidavits will be presented to prove the defendant’s
allegations. The judicial affidavits shall be attached to the answer and form an integral part
thereof. Judicial affidavits not attached to the answer shall not be considered;
(b) The summary of the statements in the judicial affidavits;
(c) The documentary and other object evidence in support of the allegations in the answer; and
(d) Whether the defendant consents to service by electronic means or facsimile and, if so, the
defendant’s e-mail addresses or facsimile numbers for such purpose.
Affirmative defenses not pleaded in the answer shall be deemed waived, except for lack of
jurisdiction over the subject matter, litis pendentia, res judicata, and prescription.
Cross-claims and compulsory counterclaims not asserted in the answer shall be considered
barred.
Sec. 7. Counterclaims within the coverage of this Rule. – If at the time the action is commenced, the
defendant possesses a claim against the plaintiff that (a) is within the coverage of this Rule, exclusive
of interest and costs; (b) arises out of the same transaction or event that is the subject matter of the
plaintiff’s claim; (c) does not require for its adjudication the joinder of third parties; and (d) is not the
subject of another pending action, the claim shall be filed as a counterclaim in the answer; otherwise,
the defendant shall be barred from suing on such counterclaim.
The defendant may also elect to file a counterclaim against the plaintiff that does not arise
out of the same transaction or occurrence, provided that the amount and nature thereof are within the
coverage of this Rule and the prescribed docket and other legal fees are paid.
A.M. NO. 08 8 7 SC 13
Rule III
Any amount pleaded in a counterclaim in excess of Two Million Pesos (₱2,000,000.00),

excluding interests and costs, shall be deemed waived.
Sec. 8. Reply. – All new matters alleged in the answer shall be deemed controverted.
The plaintiff may file a reply to a counterclaim only when an actionable document is attached
to the answer. The reply shall be filed within ten (10) calendar days from receipt of the answer.
Sec. 9. Effect of failure to answer. – Should the defendant fail to answer the complaint within the
period provided, the court, on its own initiative, or upon manifestation by the plaintiff that the period
for filing an answer has already lapsed, shall render judgment as may be warranted by the facts alleged
in the complaint and its attachments, limited to what is prayed for therein.
The court may reduce the amount of damages and attorney’s fees claimed for being excessive
or otherwise unconscionable.
Sec. 10. Preliminary Conference; notice. – Within five (5) calendar days after the last responsive
pleading is filed, the Branch Clerk of Court shall issue a Notice of Preliminary Conference, which
shall be held within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of filing of such last responsive pleading.
The rules on pre-trial under Rule 18 of the 2019 Amendments to the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure
shall be applicable to the Preliminary Conference, unless inconsistent.
The Notice of Preliminary Conference shall include the dates respectively set for:
(a) Preliminary Conference (within thirty [30] calendar days from the filing of the last
responsive pleading);
(b) Court-Annexed Mediation (within an inextendible period of thirty [30] calendar days from
date of referral for mediation); and
(c) Judicial Dispute Resolution, in the court’s discretion (within an inextendible period of
fifteen [15] calendar days from notice of failure of the Court-Annexed Mediation).
Non-appearance at any of the foregoing settings shall be deemed as non-appearance at the

Preliminary Conference and shall merit the same sanctions under Section 12 of this Rule.
Sec. 11. Preliminary Conference Brief. – The parties shall file with the court and serve on the adverse
party in such a way as to ensure receipt, at least three (3) calendar days before the scheduled Preliminary
Conference, their respective Preliminary Conference Briefs, which shall contain, among others:

(b) A summary of disputed facts and proposals for stipulations on the same;

Rule III
(c) A statement of factual and legal issues; and
(d) A list of testimonial, object, and other documentary evidence offered in support of the
party’s claims or defenses, and their markings, if any.
Failure to submit a Preliminary Conference Brief within the period given shall merit the same
sanction as non-appearance at the Preliminary Conference.
Sec. 12. Appearance at Preliminary Conference. – It shall be the duty of the parties and their counsel
to appear at the Preliminary Conference, Court-Annexed Mediation, and Judicial Dispute Resolution,
if the latter is ordered by the court. The non-appearance of a party and/or counsel may be excused only
for acts of God, force majeure, or duly substantiated physical inability.
A representative may appear on behalf of a party, but must be fully authorized through a Special
Power of Attorney or a board resolution, as the case may be, to: (1) enter into an amicable settlement,
(2) to submit to alternative modes of dispute resolution, and (3) to enter into stipulations or admissions
of facts and documents. An authority which fails to include all these acts shall be ineffective and the
party represented shall be deemed absent.
The failure despite notice of the plaintiff and/or his or her counsel to appear at the Preliminary
Conference shall be a cause for the dismissal of the complaint. The defendant who appears in the
absence of the plaintiff shall be entitled to judgment on the counterclaim, in accordance with Section
9 of this Rule. All cross-claims shall be dismissed.
If a sole defendant and/or his or her counsel fail to appear at the Preliminary Conference, the
plaintiff shall be entitled to judgment in accordance with Section 9 of this Rule. This Rule shall not
apply, however, where one of two or more defendants sued under a common cause of action and who
had pleaded a common defense, shall appear at the Preliminary Conference.
Sec. 13. Preliminary Conference Order. – Immediately after the preliminary conference and the
issues having been joined, the court shall issue a Preliminary Conference Order referring the parties to
the mandatory Court-Annexed Mediation, and Judicial Dispute Resolution, which shall be conducted
in accordance with the provisions of A.M. No. 19-10-20-SC or the 2020 Guidelines for the Conduct of
the Court-Annexed Mediation (CAM) and Judicial Dispute Resolution (JDR) in Civil Cases.
The court may, in the same Preliminary Conference Order, declare the case submitted for
judgment if, on the basis of the pleadings and their attachments, as well as the stipulations and
admissions made by the parties, judgment may be rendered without the need of submission of position
papers. In this event, the court shall render judgment within thirty (30) calendar days from issuance
of the order. The court’s order shall not be the subject of a motion for reconsideration or a petition for
certiorari, prohibition, or mandamus, but may be among the matters raised on appeal after a judgment
on the merits.
A.M. NO. 08 8 7 SC 15
Rule III
If the court, however, deems the submission of position papers still necessary, it shall require the
parties, in the Preliminary Conference Order, to submit their respective position papers within ten (10)
calendar days from receipt of such order. No other judicial affidavits or evidence will be admitted even
if filed with the position papers.
Sec. 14. Rendition of judgment. – Within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt by the court of the
Mediator’s Report or the JDR Report on the parties’ failure to reach an amicable settlement, the court
shall render judgment.
However, should the court find it necessary to clarify certain material facts, it may, during
the said period, issue an order specifying the matters to be clarified, and require the parties to submit
additional judicial affidavits or other evidence on the said matters, within ten (10) calendar days from
receipt of said order. Judgment shall be rendered within fifteen (15) calendar days after the receipt of
the last clarificatory judicial affidavits, or the expiration of the period for filing the same.
The court shall not resort to the clarificatory procedure to gain time for the rendition of the
judgment.
B. CRIMINAL CASES
Section 1. How commenced; filing and service. – The filing of criminal cases governed by the Rule
on Summary Procedure shall either be by complaint or by information.
The complaint or information shall be accompanied by the judicial affidavits of the complainant
and of his or her witnesses, in such number of copies as there are accused, plus one (1) copy for the
court.
The complaint or information and other submissions of the parties may be filed with the court
and served on the adverse party/ies, and judgments, resolutions, orders, and other court processes may
be served to the parties, electronically with their consent, in accordance with the prevailing Rules and
other Court issuances.
Sec. 2. Duty of court; judicial affidavits. –
(a) If commenced by complaint. – On the basis of the complaint and the judicial affidavits and
other evidence accompanying the same, the court may dismiss the case outright for lack of probable
cause, and order the release of the accused if in custody.
(b) If commenced by information. – When the case is commenced by information, or is not

dismissed pursuant to paragraph (a), the court shall issue an order which, together with copies of the
resolution of the investigating officer and the judicial affidavits and other evidence submitted by the
prosecution, shall require the accused to submit a judicial counter-affidavit and the judicial affidavits

Rule III
of his or her witnesses, as well as any other evidence in his or her behalf, within fifteen (15) calendar
days from receipt of the order. The accused shall serve copies thereof on the private complainant and
the public prosecutor within the same period.
Except on rebuttal, no witness shall be allowed to testify unless his or her judicial affidavit was
submitted in accordance with this provision. The judicial affidavit shall take the place of the direct
testimony of a witness.
However, instead of judicial affidavits, the prosecution may submit the written sworn statements
of the complainant and/or the witnesses prepared by the law enforcement agents assigned to the case,
or the affidavits submitted to the public prosecutor during preliminary investigation. If the prosecution
chooses this option, the prosecutor shall not be allowed to ask additional direct examination questions
of the complainant and/or the witnesses, except for meritorious reasons. The sworn statements
and affidavits shall stand as the direct testimony of the affiants, supplemented by additional direct
examination if allowed by the court.
Sec 3. Determination of probable cause. – Upon receipt of the accused’s judicial counter-affidavit
and/or the judicial affidavits of his or her witnesses, or the lapse of the period given for the submission
thereof, the court shall determine if probable cause exists to hold the accused for trial.
If the court finds that no probable cause exists, it shall order the dismissal of the case and the
immediate release of the accused, if in custody.
If the court finds that probable cause exists, the court shall set the case for arraignment and
pre-trial.
For detained accused, if the period for submission of judicial affidavits and other evidence by
the accused has not yet lapsed and no submission has been made on the date set for the arraignment and
pre-trial, the court may proceed with the arraignment if the accused waives the court’s consideration
of his or her judicial counter-affidavit and/or the judicial affidavits of his or her witnesses in the
determination of probable cause, without waiver of the admission of such judicial counter-affidavit
and/or the judicial affidavits of his or her witnesses within a fresh period of ten (10) calendar days from
the date of the arraignment and the pre-trial.
Sec. 4. Arrest. – The court shall not issue a warrant for the arrest of the accused in criminal cases
governed by the Rule on Summary Procedure, except for failure to appear despite notice, whenever
required by the court. Release of the person arrested shall either be on bail, or on his or her own
recognizance, or that of a responsible citizen acceptable to the court.
If the warrant of arrest could not be served on the accused because he or she could not be
located, the court shall issue an order archiving the case once the law enforcement agency entrusted
with the service of the warrant of arrest files a return to that effect, or after six (6) months from the
issuance of the warrant of arrest, there being no return filed by the law enforcement agency.
A.M. NO. 08 8 7 SC 17

Sec. 5. Arraignment and pre-trial. –
(a) Upon receipt of the case, the court shall set the arraignment and pre-trial within ten (10)
calendar days for detained accused and thirty (30) calendar days for non-detained accused.
The notice of arraignment and pre-trial shall require the attendance of the accused and his or
her counsel and all defense witnesses, the private complainant and his or her witnesses, the public
prosecutor and private prosecutor, where allowed, as well as the law enforcement agents assigned to
the case.
Before arraigning the accused, the court shall inquire into the possibility of a plea bargain
between the parties. If there is no plea bargain, the court shall arraign the accused on the original
charge and enter his or her plea in the record.
If the accused pleads guilty to the original charge, the court shall forthwith sentence him or her.
If the accused offers to plead guilty to a lesser offense, the consent of the public prosecutor
and the private complainant, or the law enforcement agent assigned to the case in victimless crimes,
shall be secured, unless the latter are absent despite notice, in which case the consent of the public
prosecutor shall suffice.
(b) After arraignment, the court shall conduct the Pre-Trial Conference in accordance with the
Revised Guidelines for Continuous Trial of Criminal Cases.
No admission by the accused shall be used against him or her unless reduced into writing
and signed by the accused and the defense counsel. The signatures of the accused and the defense
counsel either on the Pre-Trial Order or the Minutes of the Pre-Trial Conference, which embodies such
admissions, shall suffice.
Sec. 6. Trial and offer. – At the trial, the testimonies of witnesses shall consist of the duly subscribed
written statements given to law enforcement agents, or the affidavits or counter-affidavits submitted
before the investigating officer, or their judicial affidavits, subject to cross, re-direct, and re-cross
examination questions.
Should any affiant fail to testify, his or her affidavit shall not be considered as competent
evidence for the party presenting the affidavit, but the adverse party may utilize the same for any
admissible purpose.
Except on rebuttal, no witness shall be allowed to testify unless his or her affidavit was
previously submitted to the court in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

Rules III–IV

the last day of its presentation of evidence, the public prosecutor shall orally offer the prosecution

from the court action on the offer of defense evidence to complete the same.
A motion for postponement of any trial date shall be presumed dilatory and denied outright,
unless grounded on acts of God, force majeure, or duly substantiated physical inability of the counsel
or witness. Any postponement granted by the court for the authorized causes shall not extend the
period for presentation of a party’s evidence. The party who sought the postponement shall only have
the remaining trial dates assigned to him or her to complete his or her evidence presentation.

calendar days from the court’s action on the last presenting party’s offer of evidence.

Should the defendant fail to file his/her/its Response within the required period but appear
on the date set for hearing, the court shall ascertain what defense he/she/its has to offer, which shall
constitute his/her/its Response, proceed to hear the case on the same day as if a Response has been filed
and, thereafter, render judgment within twenty-four (24) hours from the termination of the hearing. If
the defendant relies on documentary evidence to support his/her/its defense, the court shall order him/
her/it to submit original copies of such documents within three (3) calendar days from the termination
of the hearing and, upon receipt thereof or expiration of the period to file, the court shall render
judgment within twenty-four (24) hours.
Sec. 15. Counterclaims within the coverage of this Rule. – If at the time the action is commenced, the
defendant possesses a claim against the plaintiff that (a) is within the coverage of this Rule, exclusive
of interest and costs; (b) arises out of the same transaction or event that is the subject matter of the
plaintiff’s claim; (c) does not require for its adjudication the joinder of third parties; and (d) is not
the subject of another pending action, the claim shall be filed as a counterclaim in the Response;
otherwise, the defendant shall be barred from suing on such counterclaim.
The defendant may also elect to file a counterclaim against the plaintiff that does not arise
out of the same transaction or occurrence, provided that the amount and nature thereof are within the
coverage of this Rule and the prescribed docket and other legal fees are paid.
Any amount pleaded in a counterclaim in excess of One Million Pesos (P1,000,000.00),

excluding interests and costs, shall be deemed waived.
Sec. 16. Availability of forms; assistance by court personnel. – The Clerk of Court or other court
personnel shall provide such assistance as may be requested by a plaintiff or a defendant regarding the
availability of forms and other information about the coverage, requirements, as well as procedure, for
small claims cases.
Plaintiff shall be given copies of Forms 1-SCC (Statement of Claim/s), 1-A-SCC (Other
Plaintiffs or Defendants) for additional plaintiffs or defendants, if any, and 1-B-SCC (Plaintiff’s
Information Sheet).
The Branch Clerk of Court must ensure that there should be, at least, one (1) hearing day every
week devoted to Small Claims, with a minimum of five (5) cases scheduled per hearing day. Cases
with the same party-plaintiff may all be set on the same date for facility in the preparation of notices
and judgments. The court should post a notice of its Small Claims hearing day conspicuously at the
Branch and at the Office of the Clerk of Court.
A.M. NO. 08 8 7 SC 25
Rule IV
Sec. 17. Appearance. – The parties shall personally appear on the designated date of hearing.
Appearance through a representative must be for a valid cause. The representative of an

individual-party must not be a lawyer. Juridical entities shall not be represented by a lawyer in any
capacity.
The representative must be authorized under a Special Power of Attorney (Form 7-SCC),
board resolution or secretary’s certificate, as the case may be, to enter into an amicable settlement of
the dispute and to enter into stipulations or admissions of facts and of documentary exhibits.
Sec. 18. Appearance of attorneys not allowed. – No attorney shall appear in behalf of or represent a
party at the hearing, unless the attorney is the plaintiff or defendant.
If the court determines that a party cannot properly present his/her/its claim or defense and
needs assistance, the court may, in its discretion, allow another individual who is not an attorney to
assist that party upon the latter’s consent.
Sec. 19. Non-appearance of parties. – Failure of the plaintiff to appear shall be cause for the dismissal
of the Statement of Claim/s without prejudice. The defendant who appears in the absence of the
plaintiff shall be entitled to judgment on the counterclaim.
Failure of the defendant to appear shall have the same effect as failure to file a Response under
Section 14 of this Rule. This shall not apply where one of two or more defendants who are sued under
a common cause of action and have pleaded a common defense appears at the hearing.
Failure of both parties to appear shall cause the dismissal with prejudice of both the Statement
of Claim/s and the counterclaim.
Sec. 20. Postponement when allowed. – A request for postponement of a hearing may be granted only
upon proof of the physical inability of the party to appear before the court on the scheduled date and
time. A party may avail of only one (1) postponement.
Sec. 21. Duty of the court. – At the beginning of the court session, the judge shall read aloud a short
statement explaining the nature, purpose and the rule of procedure of small claims cases.
Sec. 22. Hearing. – At the hearing, the judge shall first exert efforts to bring the parties to an amicable
settlement of their dispute. Settlement discussions must be conducted in strict confidentiality.
Any settlement or resolution of the dispute shall be reduced into writing, signed by the parties,
and immediately submitted to the court for approval at the hearing (Form 9-SCC). The court shall
render judgment based on the compromise agreement within twenty-four (24) hours, and furnish
copies thereof to the parties (Form 10-SCC).

Rule IV
If at any time before or at the hearing, a compromise agreement is submitted, signed by both
parties, but only one (1) or neither party appears to confirm it, the court shall issue an order directing
the non-appearing party/ies to confirm the compromise agreement within three (3) calendar days from
notice thereof; otherwise, it shall be deemed confirmed.
If efforts at settlement fail, the court shall immediately proceed to hear the case in an informal and
expeditious manner and, thereafter, render judgment within twenty-four (24) hours from termination
of the hearing.
Sec. 23. Resort to alternative videoconferencing platform. – Should the hearing be done through
videoconferencing, the court shall require the parties to participate through the use of the Court-
prescribed videoconferencing platform. However, if any of the participants communicates his or her
difficulty in accessing or using the said videoconferencing platform, the court may allow the use
of alternative videoconferencing platforms or instant messaging (IM) applications with video call
features, provided that the following conditions are met:
(a) The court shall use either its official e-mail address or cell phone number to access the
alternative videoconferencing platform or instant messaging (IM) application;
(b) The parties shall use the e-mail address or cell phone number they indicated in their Statement
of Claim/s or Response, as the case may be, to access the alternative videoconferencing
platform or instant messaging (IM) application; and
(c) The court shall maintain a record and transcription of the proceedings.
Sec. 24. Decision. – After the hearing, the court shall render its decision based on the facts established
by the evidence, within twenty-four (24) hours from termination of the hearing (Form 11-SCC). The
refund of the remaining balance from the Sheriff’s Trust Fund (STF), subject to accounting and auditing
procedures, shall be included in the decision.
The decision shall immediately be entered by the Clerk of Court in the court docket for civil
cases and a copy thereof forthwith served on the parties.
The decision shall be final, executory and unappealable.
Sec. 25. Execution. – When the decision is rendered and proof of receipt thereof is on record, execution
shall issue (Forms 13-SCC, 13-A-SCC, or 13-B-SCC) upon ex parte motion of the winning party
(Form 12-SCC). However, a decision based on compromise shall not be covered by the requirement
of proof of receipt.
Sec. 26. Certification of documents. – All documents attached to the Statement of Claim/s or Response
that are required to be certified, except public or official documents, shall be certified by the signature
of the plaintiff or defendant concerned.
A.M. NO. 08 8 7 SC 27
Rules IV–V
Sec. 27. Non-applicability. – The rules on mediation and judicial dispute resolution shall not apply, as
the parties may enter into compromise at any stage of the proceedings.
RULE V
EFFECTIVITY
The Rules on Expedited Procedures in the First Level Courts shall take effect on 11 April 2022
and shall prospectively apply only to cases filed from the said date of effectivity. Those pending cases
covered by these Rules, which are currently before the second and first level courts, shall remain with
and be decided by those same courts based on the rules applicable at the time those cases were filed.
