PUPCs receive free legal services from the Caloocan legal department
Around 30 female persons under police custody in Caloocan City received free legal services from the city’s legal department on Sunday, March 24, 2022.
Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan emphasized that due process of law must always be observed.
“Batid po natin ang kahalagahan ng karapatang pantao, kaya naman po nagsisikap din tayo na bigyan ng kapabilidad at oportunidad ang mga kababayan nating PDL na pangalagaan ang kanilang sarili sa harap ng batas nang sa gayon ay manaig ang katotohanan at umiral ang tunay na hustisya (We are aware of the importance of human rights, that is why we are also trying to give the capability and opportunity to our PDL compatriots to protect themselves before the law so that the truth prevails and real justice exists,”), he said”
Malapitan also highlighted the importance of the strict execution of sanctions on wrongdoers.
“Mas pinaigting po natin ang pagpapairal ng pangil ng batas sa mga patuloy na nang-aabuso sa mga Batang Kankaloo (We have intensified the implementation of the law to those who continue to abuse Caloocan citizens),” Malapitan added.
Mayor Along reiterated his administration’s objective to prioritize the least capable and most vulnerable individuals in the city.
“Asahan nyo po na palagi nating bibigyan ng pansin ang mga kabilang sa ating vulnerable sector upang maging sila ay makasabay natin sa lalo pang pag-angat ng Caloocan,” Malapitad said.
