Right to Have Compulsory Process to Secure the Attendance of Witnesses and the Production of Evidence In His Behalf (Sec. 14 (2), Art. III)

In the exercise of this right, an accused may ask the court to issue any of the following:

1. subpoena ad testificandum – an order requiring a person to appear in court testify in a case.

2. subpoena duces tecum – an order requiring a person to produce in court certain documents, articles, or other evidence.

The court may also order the prosecution to allow the accused to inspect evidence material to the case which is under its custody.
