LBC, a leading courier provider in the Philippines, has recently been accredited by the Supreme Court to offer a convenient and reliable filing solution to law firms and litigants across the nation. The ceremonial meeting held on May 29 solidified LBC’s accreditation as the chosen courier provider for all courts in the country.
Jerome S. Santos, Senior Vice President of LBC Business Solutions, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to partner with the Supreme Court in providing this crucial service to litigants. He emphasized that LBC’s extensive branch and delivery network ensures ease and convenience for individuals to file their court submissions. Furthermore, transactions with LBC are officially acknowledged on the day of a successful filing.
The accreditation comes after the passage of the 2019 Amendments to the Rules of Civil Procedure, which enabled courier providers to seek accreditation from the Supreme Court. LBC, although not initially verified at the time of the law’s enactment, received accreditation in February of this year.
Litigants can now conveniently file their pleadings, motions, notices, orders, judgments, and other court submissions at any LBC branch nationwide or request a rider pickup from their office or home. The day of filing at an LBC branch or the day of courier pickup will be considered the first day of filing.
Court Admin Justice Villanueva, who participated in the ceremonial meeting, expressed satisfaction with LBC’s services, noting that the company has been providing the required services since February and has maintained smooth operations. He further mentioned that LBC’s readiness to serve not only the court system but also the entire nation is highly appreciated.
This accreditation offers law firms a reliable and trusted logistics partner to address their accessibility needs. The new service simplifies the process of filing court submissions by leveraging LBC’s extensive network. With LBC’s strong brand equity and the trust of the highest court in the country, litigants can rest assured that their confidential and sensitive documents are secure.
