RE:

EDUCATIONAL CUPPORT PROGRAM (ESP) FOR THE EMPLOYEES OF THE LOWER COURTS — BOARD EXAMINATIONS

In Circular No. 16-2002 dated 8 February 2002, the Court reiterated the resolution dated 25 September 2001 of the Court En Banc in Administrative Matter No. 01-4-10-SC expanding the scope of the ESP-LC to include the Study Leave Program to take the Board Examinations under Section 11 of the PDC guidelines.
