Everyone is firmly reminded that the primary responsibility of "ensuring that
all pleadings and other court submissions electronically transmitted to their court are
properly accounted for and are included in the case record or rollo," rests with the
clerk of court or branch clerk of court.' Likewise, and as already disclosed in the
training materials related to the mandatory application of eFiling, the court
interpreters and the clerks (civil docket clerks), are also required to assist and be
equally responsible in the performance of these functions. ,
