PUBLIC ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

Regional Office 10 · Cagayan de Oro City

 

 

Mission

In order to focus its functions, the PAO set its sight on this Mission: to provide the indigent litigants free access to courts, judicial and quasi-judicial, by rendering legal assistance. This is in consonance with the Philippine Constitution which mandates that “free access to courts shall not be denied to any person by reason of poverty (Sec. 11, Art. 3, 1987 Philippine Constitution)”.

 

Vision

Its Vision is to be God-centered and be a dynamic organization that is responsive to the ever-growing legal needs of the indigents led by highly competent, world-class, development oriented and nationalistic leaders.

In support of its Mission and Vision, the PAO adheres to the following objectives and thrust:

* To provide the indigent clients with free legal services;
* To provide the low-income and indigent sector access to counsel at the time of need; and
* To implement the constitutional guarantee of free access to courts, due process and equal protection of the law and rights of a person under investigation for the commission of an offense.
