What is judicial power and where is it officially vested?
The judicial power of the government is officially vested in one Supreme Court and in such other lower courts as may be established by law. This means that the authority to interpret laws and administer justice primarily resides in these judicial bodies. Consequently, no other branch of government can exercise this specific power unless permitted by the constitution. This fundamental rule is explicitly stated in Article VIII Section 1 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 1. The judicial power shall be vested in one Supreme Court and in such lower courts as may be established by law.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
