Abstract This study critically analyzes the compatibility of Electronic Online Dispute Resolution (E-ODR) with the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Law of 2004 in the Philippines and proposes reforms. The research achieves several objectives: evaluating Court-Annexed Mediation (CAM) outcomes from 2004 to 2014, assessing international experiences with Online Dispute Resolution (ODR), exploring the integration of ODR into the ADR Law of 2004 for electronic commercial disputes, addressing internet accessibility challenges, and formulating recommendations for the Supreme Court. Focused on ADR Law of 2004, its correlation with electronic commerce legislation, and statistical data from 2001 to 2014, the study identifies potential protection frameworks for ODR participants. Findings highlight the effectiveness of ADR mechanisms, especially CAM, in reducing pending cases. The study suggests that E-ODR can be integrated into existing legislation, with the Supreme Court's rule-making power pivotal. Overcoming internet connectivity challenges is crucial for widespread ODR adoption. This research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of ADR mechanisms, the potential of ODR, and outlines theoretical, practical, and future research recommendations.
