The Supreme Court (SC) has partnered with Microsoft to improve the efficiency and productivity of the country’s legal proceedings through videoconferencing hearings. By using Microsoft 365, the initiative ensures timely hearing of cases even during the pandemic. It started on April 27, 2020, when the Honorable Chief Justice Peralta issued Administrative Circular 37-2020, directing all litigants, judges, and court personnel of 925 First and Second Level Courts located in Metro Manila and other key cities to immediately begin virtual court hearings. In the first nine days of videoconferencing hearings, the Supreme Court released a total of 4,683 PDLs.
