Judicial fees payment goes digital

The Supreme Court on Wednesday announced that digital wallets, such as GCash and GrabPay, have been added as payment channels to the Judiciary ePayment System (JePS), a platform that allows the assessment and payment of legal fees and other collections by the judiciary. It said that the move was aimed at continuously improving the JePS for a more safe, secure and convenient way for litigants, their counsels/representatives and persons requesting for clearances, certifications and other services to pay court fees online. The JePS platform may be accessed through https://epayment.judiciary.gov.ph. —TINA G. SANTOS
