While it is true that administrative investigations should

not be bound by strict adherence to the technical

rules of procedure and evidence applicable to judicial
proceedings, the same however should not violate the
constitutional right of respondents to
a speedy disposition of cases.

Section 16, Article III of the 1987 Constitution provides:

Section 16. All person shall have the right to
a speedy disposition of their cases before all judicial, quasi-
judicial, or administrative bodies.

The constitutional right to a "speedy disposition of cases"

is not limited to the accused in criminal proceedings but
extends to all parties in all cases, including civil
and administrative cases, and in all proceedings, including
judicial and quasi-judicial hearings. Hence, under the Constitution,
any party to a case may demand expeditious action by all
officials who are tasked with the administration of justice.

1. On ____________, petitioner duly filed a Motion for Early Resolution

for the pending incident.

2. On ______________ petitioner filed a Second Motion to Resolve for

the same purpose.

3. Up to this date, ____________, the case has not been resolved by the
Honorable Office.

4. Petitioner is now humbly invoking its right to speedy disposition of

the case.

5. Section 16, Article III of the 1987 Constitution provides that:

xxx
 Section 16. All person shall have the right to
a speedy disposition of their cases before all judicial, quasi-judicial,
or administrative bodies.

the Constitution, any party to a case may demand expeditious action by all
officials who are tasked with the administration of justice.”

many cases and matter of equal importance. With all due respect, may we
respectfully move that the case be resolved at the earliest possible time and most
convenient to the Honorable Office.

PRAYER
