BAGUIO
CITY-- Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Sec. Eduardo
M. Año has called for a “swift, fair, and humane justice system” for a safer,
more peaceful, and more progressive Philippines.
Ano urged this as the Baguio City Justice Zone has opened on June 24.
“Let us altogether continually fortify the avenues and partnerships we have established thus far including Justice Zones —one that is built up by a swift, fair, and humane justice system,” Sec Año said during launching of Baguio City as Justice Zone.
He said the DILG will relentlessly nudge the police force, detention facility managers and local officials to be “devoted, well-equipped, and resourceful to shore up inter-agency collaboration in such a pursuit.”
“With the establishment of justice zones in the Philippines in 2014, we became more driven and determined to put up regional justice hubs aimed at looking into the issues and concerns of our constituents,” he said.
“Through Justice Zones, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges now have a common ground to tackle controversies and legal affairs and eventually bring quality justice services—now more synergized, more coordinated, and quicker than before,” he said.
In his message, Supreme Court Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo urged the city government of Baguio not to fail the people by ensuring safety and security of their rights under all applicable laws.
”With the strong cooperation towards the delivery of justice, the people of Baguio will receive quality justice in your justice zone,” he said.
Justice Sec. Menardo Guevara said “the existing achievements of all the justice zones are proofs of how powerful the synergy of criminal justice sector and institutions to deliver swift, efficient and comprehensive resolutions to many problems.”
He added: “We need to embrace this launch with utmost confidence and optimism in your capacity to truly make the Baguio City Justice Zone a new exemplar in the way we deliver true justice,” he said.
Meanwhile, Regional Trial Court Executive Judge Maria Ligaya Itliong-Rivera said with Baguio City as Justice Zone there is avenue for regular dialogue among agencies to discuss matters and resolve issues that will make them better in performing their tasks.
“A venue for communication, coordination and cooperation geared towards swift delivery of justice. We shall see enhanced collaboration among agencies in the criminal justice system finding solutions in their common problems,” she said.
Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong also pledged to do their part to improve and streamline the administration of justice.
