The award, also known as the 7th Dr. Jose Rizal Awards for Excellence in Public Service, was given to Tan last June.
Tan, who had also served as Regional Court Administrator based in Cebu for the last two years, has reassumed his post as Presiding Judge of RTC Branch 30 starting July.
Records show that Tan has sent more than 60 culprits to life imprisonment and almost 300 to a maximum of 20 years in jail for drug-related offenses.
Meanwhile, Tan called on both defense and prosecution counsels to agree on the stipulation of facts and with admission of facts, so less time is consumed in calling different personalities to the witness stand. (PNA/JG)
