ARBITRATION
16
Under
the
Philippine
ADR Law, three (3) types
of
arbitration
are
recognized:
international commercial
arbitration,
domestic
arbitration
and
construction arbitration
before the CIAC.
arbitration is commercial if it
covers matters arising from all
relationships of a commercial nature,
whether
contractual
or
not.
Relationships of a commercial nature
include, but are not limited to, the
following transactions:
CIAC
has
original
and
exclusive
jurisdiction over disputes arising from, or
connected with, contracts entered into
by parties involved in construction in the
Philippines. (E.O. No. 1008, Sec. 4)
Applies to both government and private
contracts ((E.O. No. 1008, Sec. 3)
Includes disputes between or among
parties to, or who are otherwise bound by,
an arbitration agreement, directly or by
reference whether such parties are project
owner, contractor, subcontractor, fabricator,
project
manager,
design
professional,
consultant, quantity surveyor, bondsman or
issuer of an insurance policy in a
construction project. (ADR Law, Sec. 35)
MED-ARB or ARB-MED
23
GOOD OFFICES
Offices that essentially provide logistical
support to parties to come up with
consultation. It is merely the provision of
venue only and not the consultation itself. It
is plainly administrative support.

FACTS:
CMMTC is the general contractor for the Philippine
governments Skyway Project (a tollroad project).
HUTAMA was CMMTCs subcontractor.
CMMTC and HUTAMA entered into an Engineering
Procurement Construction Contract (EPCC) in 1996,
which provided for a standing Dispute Adjudication
Board.
Despite the clear terms of the EPCC, the parties did
NOT appoint/constitute the DAB.

HELD:
a. The
arbitration clause of the 2005 Lease
Contract stipulates that "any disagreement"
as to the "interpretation, application or
execution" of the 2005 Lease Contract
ought to be submitted to arbitration. To
the mind of this Court, such stipulation is
clear and is comprehensive enough so as
to include virtually any kind of conflict or
dispute that may arise from the 2005 Lease
Contract including the one that presently
besets Koppel and Makati Rotary Club.

This
case
must,
therefore,
be
remanded to the MeTC and be
suspended at said point. Inevitably,
the decisions of the MeTC, RTC and the
Court of Appeals must all be vacated
and set aside.

HELD:
R.A. No. 9285 did not confer on regional trial courts
jurisdiction to review awards or decisions of the CIAC in
construction disputes. On the contrary, Section 40 thereof
expressly declares that confirmation by the RTC is not
required. Since R.A. No. 9285 explicitly excluded CIAC
awards from domestic arbitration awards that need to be
confirmed to be executory, said awards are therefore not
covered by Rule 11 of the Special ADR Rules, 24 as they
continue to be governed by EO No. 1008, as amended and
the rules of procedure of the CIAC. The CIAC Revised Rules
of Procedure Governing Construction Arbitration provide for
the manner and mode of appeal from CIAC decisions or
awards in Section 18 thereof and the mode is a Rule 43
Petition for Review to the Court of Appeals.
