    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. In the instant cases, while both above-named accused posted a
    bond for their provisional liberty the remaining witnesses which the
    defense wishes to present in accordance with the Arraignment/Pre-
    trail Order dated 22 April 2019, namely, Mark Joseph de Guzman
    y Adarayan and Christian Delupio y Bugarin, are both detained
    at the BJMP-Valenzuela City Jail (Male Dormitory) and are still
    serving the sentence which the Honorable Court imposed on them
    when they plea bargained and were re-arraigned for the lower
    offense of violation of Section 12, Article II of R.A. 9165. 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
    schedule the reception of the testimony of the aforementioned
    witnesses through video conference in lieu of an in-court hearing as
    soon as possible.

    PRAYER

    WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed that


    this motion be granted.

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