Laoag City—A member of the Ilocos Norte Sangguniang Panlalawigan is urging the appointment of provincial and city prosecutors to avoid too much delay in the resolution of cases in the province.

In a resolution sponsored by provincial board member, Atty. Da Vinci Crisostomo, he along with other members of the Committee on Laws has requested President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III through the Secretary of the Department of Justice, Atty. Leila De Lima to immediately appoint provincial and city prosecutors in Ilocos Norte to fill in the vacated position of retired provincial prosecutor Maria Calija. Atty. Calija retired from service on August 9.

Also, the cities of Laoag and Batac have yet to have their own full pledged city prosecutors.

According to Atty. Crisostomo, “The lack of prosecutors delay resolution of cases,” which is causing a huge backlog at the Regional Trial Courts and Municipal Trial Courts in the province.

In Ilocos Norte, there are 15 available plantilla positions yet only five public provincial prosecutors are assigned in the province as of today.

As of this posting, it was learned that several applicants for the vacant positions were already forwarded to Malacañang and the DOJ has yet to act on them.

“This goes with the saying, justice delay is justice denied,” Atty. Crisostomo stressed.”
