Private Prosecution - Philippines

Philippines

Private prosecutors in the Philippines are private attorneys that work with police and public prosecutors to help bring criminal cases. They often work to get the location of a trial moved to more neutral court, outside of the influence of local power brokers, and to prepare needed legal petitions and other documents. They also help to keep up the spirits of the victim's family and to keep media and public attention focused on the case.

Private prosecutors can be involved in cases in front of the national anti-corruption court the Sandiganbayan.
