Marcos leads inauguration of Sulu Hall of Justice

MANILA — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday led the inauguration and turnover ceremony of the Sulu Hall of Justice in Jolo, Sulu.

This will make justice more accessible to every Filipino even those in far-flung provinces, Marcos said.

“It makes the justice system more accessible to our people, providing a place where their rights can be upheld, their grievances heard, and their disputes resolved under the rule of law,” he said.

Marcos said that the inauguration of the building will improve efficiency and modernize the services of the judiciary.


“This occasion is especially meaningful for Sulu. I know that limited facilities have long posed challenges to the delivery of judicial services in this province. These difficulties affect court operations, delay the resolution of cases, and, ultimately, place an added burden upon our people,” Marcos said.


“At the heart of these challenges are Filipinos whose livelihoods and families may depend on the timely resolution of their cases. After all, peace means resolving conflicts through justice, treating every person with fairness, and respecting the rule of law,” he added.

Marcos also promised Sulu that his government is focused on transferring Sulu from BARMM to Region IX.

“Nais kong tiyakin sa ating mga kababayan sa Sulu na hindi kayo pababayaan ng administrasyong ito. Patuloy tayong magtutulungan upang maging maayos ang transisyon,” Marcos said.

“Lasting progress demands a shared commitment. Only through the united efforts of our agencies, sectors, partners, and communities can we truly improve the lives of our people,” he said.
