    REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES

    SUPREME COURT
    Manila
    SECOND DIVISION

    NOTICE
    Sirs/Mesdames:

    Please take notice that the Court, Second Division, issued a Resolution
    dated 10 October 2018 which reads as follows:

    ,,
    1
    G.R. No. 238630 (THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE - REVENUE
    INTEGRITY PROTECTION SERVICE (DOF-RIPS) v. DIGNO A.
    ENERIO)
    Petitioner Department of Finance~Revenue Integrity Protection
    Service (DOF-RIPS), through the Office of the Solicitor General, moves for
    the reconsideration of the Resolution dated 18 June 2018 requiring it to pay
    P 1,000 for the Sheriff's Trust Fund (STF). According to petitioner, it cannot
    pay the STF because it has no funds allocated for the purpose. Petitioner
    alleges that it is not a government agency but the Republic itself. Petitioner
    asserts that it must be exempted from paying legal fees and costs, including
    STF.

    InA.M. No. 17-12-09-SC, dated 10 January 2018, the Court clarified


    that STF is not part of the filing fees and that there is a need to collect the
    amount of Pl,000 from those who are listed as exempted from the payment
    of filing fees. The Court stated that STF should be collected from
    government agencies and from those exempt from the payment of filing
    fees.

    STF is not part of the filing fees. It is collected for the enforcement of
    judgments, which is for the benefit of the parties. A.M. No. 17-12-09-SC
    further clarified that STF is not only for sheriffs but also for process servers
    and other court personnel designated to serve notices, subpoenas, and other
    court processes. The Court has no funds for STF because there is no
    appropriation for it under the General Appropriations Act. The Court cannot
    divert its funds to pay for these fees which should be paid by the parties,
    including those who are listed as exempted from the payment of filing fees.

    Accordingly, the Court resolves to DENY the motion of petitioner


    Department of Finance-Revenue Integrity Protection Service (DOF-RIPS) to
    be exempt from payment of the Sheriff's Trust Fund.

    The Court further resolves to NOTE the Compliance dated 17 August


    2018 with the Resolution dated 18 June 2018 submitting the proof of service
    of a copy of the petition upon the Office of the Ombudsman. (J. Reyes, Jr.,
    J., designated additional member per Special Order No. 2587 dated 28
    August 2018) ''
