Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra on Wednesday (July 21) boasted that the Department of Justice (DOJ) scored the highest conviction rate in 2020 compared to the previous years.
“In 2020, the DOJ’s conviction rate its highest at 49.46 percent,” he said at the pre-state of the nation address (SONA) forum.
“This was made possible by the hard work and unwavering dedication of our prosecutors in the discharge of their duty and by a host of programs and interventions designed and implemented by the DOJ leadership to assist our prosecutors in their task,” he added.
Guevarra said this figure more than doubled since 2016.
“In 2016, that rate stood at a measly 20.4 percent,” he disclosed.
“At the end of 2018, the year of my appointment as secretary of justice, our prosecutors had increased their conviction rate to 41.74 percent,” he added.
Guevarra also revealed that in 2020 that DOJ had a disposition rate of cases of “an all time high of 91.19 percent, up from 87.23 percent in 2016.”
“The backlog rate of the NPS has considerably decreased from 49.80 percent in 2016 to just 29.5 percent in 2020,” he also showed.
