Philippines and South Korea are promoting judicial modernization

Manila, Dec. 22 (Prensa Latina) The Supreme Court of the Philippines and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) signed a $14.5 million grant agreement today to accelerate the digital transformation of the country's judicial system.

The agreement establishes a project aimed at streamlining judicial processes, improving access to justice, and strengthening transparency through the use of technology, in one of the most ambitious reforms in the sector in recent years.

During the ceremony, Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo stated that the initiative reflects the judiciary’s commitment to adapting to the digital age without compromising its independence, integrity, or constitutional mandate.

The project focuses on creating an electronic verification system, digitizing court records, and providing training programs for judges and court staff to optimize workflows. Under the agreement, KOICA will provide technical support for the redesign of judicial processes and policies, the development of document management software, and specialized human resources training.
