WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DUTY OF THE COURT TO APPOINT   COUNSEL   DE   OFFICIO   DURING   ARRAIGNMENT   AND DURING TRIAL?

>     During arraignment, the  court has the affirmative duty to  inform the accused of his right to counsel and to provide him with one in case he cannot afford it

>     The court  must act  on its own volition unless the right is  waived by the accused

>     On the other hand, during trial, it is the accused who must asser this  right  to  counsel.    The  court  will  not  act  unless  the  accused invokes his rights.
