"Criminal procedure is the study of the process in prosecuting crimes in observance of the five pillars of the criminal justice system. It focuses on almost all pillars of the Philippine Criminal Justice System, from law enforcement up to the community. Court testimony complements the study by elaborating on various integral provisions to be aptly considered before, during, and even after examination of witnesses before the courts."
