A symbol of peace and justice

I felt a powerful sense of hope when the shovels dug into the soil to break ground for the Sulu Hall of Justice last week. I knew that what I was witnessing was more than just a groundbreaking ceremony. It was the start of better and bigger things to come for the province.

- SECRETARY CARLITO G. GALVEZ, JR.

Last week, I joined the Supreme Court justices led by Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo, for a ground breaking ceremony for the construction of the Sulu Hall of Justice building.

The occasion symbolized how far Sulu has come — from being a hotbed of conflict into an emerging trade, investment and tourism hub in this southernmost part of Mindanao.

Governor Abdusakur Tan, II said it best when he proudly declared: “Today, as we break ground for the Sulu Hall of Justice, we are not merely laying the foundation of a building. We are laying the foundation of hope, fairness and dignity for our people.”

The governor's words deeply resonated among those gathered at the site as the soon to be built facility is an assurance that justice will no longer be a distant promise, but a reality that will be felt by the people of Sulu.

The decision of the Provincial Government of Sulu to allow the construction of what may be one of the most historic Halls of Justice in the country sends a clear and strong message that the province is turning a new chapter in its history.

Moreover, it reflects the steadfast commitment of Governor Tan, II, Vice Governor Abdusakur Tan II, and the entire provincial government to ensure that justice will have a permanent home in Sulu.

“Your presence here, especially from the highest pillars of our nation’s leadership, is a testament that Sulu is not forgotten,” the governor said. “It affirms that our aspirations for peace, order and progress are also the aspirations of our beloved Philippines.”

For years, Sulu lived under the shadow of violence, conflict, and lawlessness. Today, that image is being replaced by scenes of people working hand in hand, building, and dreaming of a better future.

Check your walls; disaster preparedness starts at home

The magnitude 6.9 earthquake that rattled Cebu-its tremors felt in Negros, Iloilo, and beyond-is another stark reminder that disaster preparedness is nonnegotiable. Many believe that it is the government's job. True-but it is also, fundamentally, our personal responsibility. And it should start long before a disaster strikes (and not end with a go bag).
