00:06to exclusively handle graft and corruption cases involving infrastructure projects.
00:12This initiative follows Republic Act 10660, which authorizes certain RTC branches to focus solely on graft-related hearings to speed up case resolution.
00:23All newly filed cases of this nature will be forwarded directly to these designated courts.
00:28Judges assigned to these branches will undergo training through the Philippine Judicial Academy with Sandigan Bayan associate justices teaching procedural laws on plunder,
00:38the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, bail rules, evidentiary requirements, cyber warrants and forensic evidence.
