HISTORY
The Department of Justice traces its beginnings at the Revolutionary Assembly in Naic, Cavite on
April 17, 1897. The establishment of a regime of law was tasked to Don Severino delas Alas who headed
the Department of Grace and Justice. Shortly after the proclamation of Independence in Kawit, Cavite
on June 12, 1898, President Emilio Aguinaldo issued a decree on September 26, 1898 reorganizing the
Department.
A year later, the American military force established the Office of the Attorney of the Supreme
Court in place ofthe Department. On June ll, 1901, the new office was renamed the Office of the
Attorney General and on September 1, 1901, the Office became the Department of Finance and
Justice.
In the 1916 government reorganization, the Department became a separate entity and was given
executive supervision over all courts of first instance and other inferior courts.
Under the Japanese occupation, the Department was made a Commission. The civilian government
established by the Japanese in 1943 changed it to a Ministry. After the war in 1945, the Govemment of
the Philippine Commonwealth was re-established and the Department of Justice was re-activated. The
Department continued in this form under the Philippine Republic.
Presidential Decree No. 1 during Martial Law reorganized the Executive Branch of the national
government. Letter of Implementation No. 20 of December 31, 1972 organized the Department proper into
the Office of the Secretary, the Financial and Management Service, the Administrative Service, Technical
StaftQ the Prosecution Staff, the Legal Staff and the Judiciary Division; the Commission on Immigration
and Deportation, the National Bureau of Investigation, the Office of the Govemment Corporate Counsel;
the Board of Pardons and Parole; the Bureau of Prisons; and the Citizens Legal Assistance Office.
Under the 1973 Constitution, Department became a Ministry of Justice. The 1986 People Power
Revolution ushered in the contemporary Department of Justice.
With the adoption of the 1987 Constitution and the Administrative Code of 1987 (Executive Order
No. 292), theDepartment of Justice was named as the principal law agency of the Republic of the
Philippines serving as its legal counsel and prosecution arm.
NATURE
The Department of Justice (DOJ) derives its mandate
primarily from the Administrative Code of 1987
(Executive Order No. 292). It carries out this mandate
through the Department Proper and the Department's
attached agencies under the direct control and
supervision of the Secretary of Justice.
Under Executive Order (EO) 292, the DOJ is the
government's principal law agency. As such, the DOJ
serves as the government's prosecution arm and
administers the government's criminal justice system by
investigating crimes, prosecuting offenders and
overseeing the correctional system.
STATISTICAL TREATMENT
FREQUENCY AND PERCENTAGE DISTRIBUTION
Used to determine the percentage usually
for data on profile
(e.g. level, age, gender, etc)
FORMULA:
f
N
x 100
where % = percent
f = frequency
N = number of respondents
WEIGHTED MEAN
The weighted mean is a mean where there is some variation in the relative
contribution of individual data values to the mean. Each data value (Xi) has a weight
assigned to it (Wi). Data values with larger weights contribute more to the weighted
mean and data values with smaller weights contribute less to the weighted mean. The
formula to be used is: WEIGHTED MEAN
The weighted mean is a mean where there is some variation in the relative
contribution of individual data values to the mean. Each data value (Xi) has a weight
assigned to it (Wi). Data values with larger weights contribute more to the weighted
mean and data values with smaller weights contribute less to the weighted mean. The
formula to be used is:
Xw = Wi Xi
n
Where,
Xw
= Weighted Mean
Wi = Weight assigned to each choice
Xi = Number of respondents that answered a certain choice
n = Total number of respondents
In this survey the data values will be represented by the number of respondents
who answered in each choice classified in each category while the weight
assigned is represented by the five-point rating scale.
SAMPLING DESIGN
PROBABILITY SAMPLING TECHNIQUES
Cluster Sample. Cluster sampling may be used when it is either
impossible or impractical to compile an exhaustive list of the elements that
make up the target population. Usually, however, the population elements are
already grouped into subpopulations and lists of the subpopulations already
exist or can be created.
SLOVINS FORMULA

n = sample size
N = population size

MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS
The results show that from an internal perspective, the
DOJ management is effective in terms of Public Relations. This
will have a significant impact on the management since this
measures its ability to achieve a good reputation based on
public opinion.
The perception of the respondent in terms of public
relations is shaped by the managements efforts to implement
mechanisms to establish
an excellent office reputation and
relationship to its internal and external environment. The
positive results based on the statistical data will most likely
encourage the management to formulate more policies for the
personnels continuous improvement. The effective public
relations in DOJ will also enable the management to manage
crisis, issues, and risks easily.

MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS
The results show that from an internal perspective, the
DOJ management is effective in terms of Coordination. This has
significant impact to the management because this defines how
well it can achieve harmony among the employees/personnel.
Once harmony is achieved, the office vision, mission and
goals can be attained. Coordination is the essence of management
and is implicit and inherent in all its function. Since the DOJ
management is effective in terms of coordination, it will not have
a hard time assigning activities, giving orders and instructions to
the staff. The DOJ management also will most likely be
successful in executing its plans and programs since coordination
in the office implies that there is unity and collected efforts
among the personnel.
