Category Archives: Department of Justice

The Department of Justice traces its origins to a decree dated 26 September 1898 of General Emilio Aguinaldo. After the fall of the First Republic, the Department of Justice was established as the Office of the Attorney of the Supreme Court, then the Office of the Attorney-General and then as the Department of Finance and Justice. The Department of Justice as we know it today was established under the Jones Law in 1916 and continued to function as such under Commonwealth of the Philippines. During the Japanese Occupation, the functions of the office were undertaken first by a Commission and then by a Ministry under the 2nd Republic. The Department of Justice was reestablished in 1945 with the restoration of the Commonwealth. In 1981, the Department became a Ministry, and in 1987, once again became a department.
