Arbitration is a popular alternative to litigation in the Philippines. The Republic of the Philippines has a strong and categorical government policy of promoting alternative modes of dispute resolution, including arbitration. There is as yet no specialist arbitration court in the Philippines; however, arbitration-related proceedings are ordinarily assigned to trial courts. International and domestic commercial arbitrations in the Philippines are primarily governed by Republic Act (RA) No. 9285 or the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act of 2004. This act solidifies arbitration as a viable substitute in resolving commercial disputes and provides for the appointment of arbitrators and procedure for their conduct.For more information, please visit DivinaLaw
