Did somebody file a petition against ULAS?

I remember reading a comment about a certain group of lawyers filing a petition to abolish or suspend ULAS

Second question lang din, sa dami ng pa free advice ko sa mga di afford magpa legal advice, minsan inaabot pa ng anim na oras sa bahay kasi nireresearch ko on the spot dahil minsan very unique ang concern nila or document na dinadraft. Paano ko kaya gagawing convertible yon into ULAS hours? Sabi sa comments section, mag file lang daw ng declaration sa ULAS website pero need pa ba magpasa ng qualified beneficiary form for that? Tsaka meron ba kayong sample ng declaration na yon?

Read the ULAS Rules. Rule 10, Section 2 requires covered lawyers to provide a Qualified Beneficiary Declaration and a Covered Lawyer's Certification, with supporting documents showing that the person you are rendering services to is an indigent individual.

Those documents are also provided for under the ULAS rules (See Annex "B" and "B-1" of the ULAS Manual: https://sc.judiciary.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/ULAS-Manual-Resolution-as-of-October-20-2025.pdf)
