SC to use instructional videos as guide in alternative dispute resolution of cases

The ADR instructional videos were turned over to the SC, through the Office of the Court Administrator , by the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative last Friday, July 21.

“These videos were carefully crafted in an engaging format, particularly given the context of today’s multimedia digital landscape—and we are especially grateful for these materials because I am confident that these will go a long way in reinforcing the Court’s thrust towards encouraging the wider use of ADR mechanisms here in our country,” said the Chief Justice Gesmundo said.

Tracing the effort to produce the ADR videos, Court Administrator Raul B. Villanueva said it started in 2021 when the Philippine Mediation Center proposed to the ABA ROLI the production of videos that will disseminate information about the ADR. He noted that the Philippines has been recognized as one of the leading countries in ADR programs and is a founding member of two international organizations: the Asian Mediation Association and the Judicial Dispute Resolution Network.

“When this happens, we already have a template to widen the reach to disseminate the advantages of such initiative,” he stressed.
