BAGUIO CITY – The ninth Justice Zone in the country was launched at the Convention Center here on Friday, June 24, and is expected to be fully digitized with the assistance of the city’s Smart City project.
They were created starting in 2010 “to serve as a joint forum for dialogue on issues of common interest and mechanism for effective coordination and sharing of information in support of planning and implementation of joint initiatives among justice sector institutions specifically the SC, the DOJ, and the DILG.”
Gesmundo said the Baguio City Smart City project is poised to help the JZ with the city’s digital infrastructure already in place. Secretary Guevarra, on the other hand, said the combined efforts of the five pillars of justice — law enforcement, prosecution, judiciary, penology, and the community — “as one integrated system” under the justice zone areas in the country proved that a holistic approach is very effective in speeding court resolutions and eliminating case backlogs in these areas.
