Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) models, as discussed in the works and judicial philosophy of Josue N. Bellosillo, emphasize the efficient, practical, and early settlement of disputes to reduce court congestion and promote speedy justice. Rather than proposing a single formalized model, Bellosillo’s approach organizes ADR into functional categories based on process and institutional setting. These include court-annexed mechanisms such as mediation and judicial dispute resolution integrated into pre-trial procedures, as well as private ADR processes like negotiation, mediation, conciliation, and arbitration conducted outside the courts. He also recognizes hybrid methods, including mediation-arbitration (med-arb), which combine facilitative and adjudicative techniques. Additionally, community-based systems, particularly the Katarungang Pambarangay, are highlighted as grassroots approaches to conflict resolution. Overall, Bellosillo’s ADR framework underscores accessibility, flexibility, party autonomy, and the decongestion of judicial dockets, reinforcing ADR as an essential complement to formal litigation in the Philippine legal system.
