Resolving Consumer Complaints in Metro Manila Via ADR

In support to Executive Order No. 523, ?Administrative Justice Reform by Instituting the Use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)?, which mandates all agencies under the Office of the President to develop, implement and institutionalize an ADR program, and report the progress of such efforts annually to the President, the Department of Trade and Industry-National Capital Region (DTI-NCR) is hosting the ADR Internship, which is the second phase of the ADR Program in the Executive Department. The ADR specialists delegated by the different agencies are required to undergo 40 hours over 10 half days of mentored practice involving real world cases in identified judicial or quasi-judicial agencies.

Trade Secretary Peter B. Favila expressed his confidence in the program: ?We are echoing President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo?s call to ?actively promote and encourage the use of ADR as an important means to achieve speedy and impartial justice?. We in DTI strongly support the ADR Program. We hope that through the participants? internship in one of our offices, more and more cases can be resolved via mediation.?
