Deputy Speaker, Surigao del Sur 2nd district Rep. Johnny Pimentel had glowing words to say about newly-installed Supreme Court (SC) Chief Justice Diosdado Peralta’s proposal for the creation of a Philippine Marshals Service (PMS) for the judiciary.

“The plan is even better than our previous proposal for the simple creation of up to 3,000 new positions for bailiffs or armed peace officers to provide ample court security,” Pimentel noted.

“We would urge the Chief Justice to endorse to Congress a draft bill forming the envisioned Philippine Marshals Service,” Pimentel said, adding that he is prepared to sponsor the bill for the PMS, which will be patterned after that of the United States Marshals Sevice. The lawmaker noted that judges, court staff and litigants “have become increasingly exposed to potential violence when hearing cases.”

On Sunday, Pimentel said Peralta’s proposal for the establishment of a USMS-type agency might require the handover of some of the duties and responsibilities of other existing departments or bureaus.
