The facility is meant to host seminars, workshops and capacity-building programs for justice personnel in the city and the wider region.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has started work on its first SOJ Mindanao Training Center, holding a groundbreaking ceremony in Bago Oshiro, Davao City on October 15, according to SunStar.
Once built, the center is expected to serve as a venue for seminars, workshops, conferences and capacity-building programs. The aim is to improve the skills and efficiency of justice personnel in the city and across the region, the report said.
Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte congratulated the DOJ in a message delivered on his behalf by City Councilor Bai Hundra Cassandra Dominique Advincula. In the message, the mayor said he hoped the facility would help DOJ personnel throughout Mindanao build their work competence and deliver quality public service guided by transparency, accountability, fairness and truth.
Duterte also called for continued cooperation between the city and the department in protecting people's basic human and civil rights, upholding the rule of law, and supporting sustainable development in communities.
The city government said it remains committed to supporting improvements in the justice system, stressing the need to make justice accessible to every Dabawenyo. The report, which came from the City Information Office, did not state the project's cost or target completion date.
Why it matters for Davao
