CHIEF Justice Reynato Puno has designated key officials to run the new Regional Court Administration Office (RCAO) covering Cebu, Bohol and Negros Oriental.
Puno designated Judge Rafael Tan of the Dumaguete City Regional Trial Court, Branch 30 as regional court administrator (RCA).
The RCAO aims to decentralize the functions of the Office of the Court Administrator (OCA).
The new office will supervise and hear complaints against judges and court employees in the three provinces. Before the RCAO, supervision was from Manila.
Created by Presidential Decree 828 as amended by PD 842, the OCA directly supervises the first level and second level courts.
Rullyn Garcia, OCA judicial supervisor who led investigators in the alleged marriage and annulment scam in Cebu courts was appointed deputy RCA.
Other officials include Rosemarie Pabatao, assistant RCA for budget; Cathrine Bagano, assistant RCA for accounting and disbursement; Isidro Bongcayao, Jr, assistant RCA for general services; Denis Pacas, assistant RCA for human resources development and Ceferino Faunillan Jr., assistant RCA for revenue management.
