    The Five Pillars of the Philippine Criminal Justice System

    -LAW ENFORCEMENT PROCESS


    The law enforcement consists of the officers and men of the Philippine National Police (PNP),
    the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), and other agencies.

    -PROSECUTION PROCESS
    The investigation and prosecution of all cases involving violations of penal laws are lodged with
    the Department of Justice (DOJ) through its National Prosecution Service (NAPROSS). The
    DOJ is headed by the Secretary of Justice with three Undersecretaries assisting him.

    -THE JUDICIAL PROCESS


    -If the preliminary investigation results in the finding that a crime has been committed and the
    suspect is probably guilty thereof, the public prosecutor will file the corresponding information in
    the proper court; thus, activating the judicial process. The case shall then be set for arraignment
    which is the first stage of a criminal action. It consists of the reading of the information or
    criminal complaint in court to the accused in open court. The accused is then asked how he
    pleads. The accused may plead guilty or not guilty to the offense charged. If he refuses to
    plead, a plea of not guilty will be entered for him. If the accused pleads guilty, the court shall
    sentence him to the corresponding penalty if it is satisfied of the voluntariness of the plea, and
    otherwise, of the guilt of the accused. If the accused pleads not guilty, the case is set for pre-
    trial and/or trial.

    -PENAL OR CORRECTIONAL PROCESS


    Punishment is the isolation of the convicts by imprisonment for the periods laid down by the
    courts or in extreme cases, their execution by the method prescribed by law—and correction
    and rehabilitation are functions undertaken by the institutions set up by law, e.g., the Bureau of
    Prisons, Parole and Probation Administration.
