The Cebu Provincial Legal Office (PLO) is handling over 170 legal cases with a team of at least 13 lawyers. The office is also seeking to fill six vacant positions in its plantilla.
The PLO has been tasked with managing a high volume of legal matters, including civil and criminal cases. Despite the workload, the office continues to operate with its current staff. The vacant positions have not yet been filled, according to recent reports.
The PLO has faced challenges in staffing due to a lack of qualified legal professionals. This shortage has led to increased workloads for existing staff. The office has not announced a timeline for filling the vacant roles. The situation highlights ongoing administrative difficulties in local legal services.
