The Supreme Court (Filipino: Kataas-taasang Hukuman;[2] colloquially referred to as the Korte Suprema (also used in formal writing), is the highest court in the Philippines. The Supreme Court was established by the Second Philippine Commission on June 11, 1901 through the enactment of its Act No. 136,[3] an Act which abolished the Real Audiencia de Manila, the predecessor of the Supreme Court.[4][5][6]
The Supreme Court compound is located in what was formerly a part of the University of the Philippines Manila campus and They will transfer to Bulacan by 2026 .[7] It occupies the corner of Padre Faura Street and Taft Avenue in Ermita, Manila, with the main building sited directly in front of Philippine General Hospital's cancer institute.
