Mabuhay:
In behalf of the lawyers and litigants from Las
Pinas City, who are senior citizens, pregnant, or are persons with disabilities
(PWDs), I respectfully request that a special elevator unit be
allotted/assigned for such persons, from the 1st floor (not
only from the 2nd floor, as is the rule today) up to the floors
where the Courts, City Prosecutors, and Public Attorneys are holding offices,
for the exclusive use of such persons to insure their convenience and to
protect their health condition.
For instance, as a senior citizen myself, every
time I have to appear for trial at the Hall of Justice of the Makati City Hall,
I have to walk all the way to the 2nd floor of the Makati City
Hall, coming from the Parking Building, to take an elevator assigned to the floors
where the Courts are located, and, after my court appearances, I likewise have
to walk all the way from the 2nd floor of the Makati City Hall back
to the Parking Building, a long, exhausting and inconvenient route for senior
citizens or pregnant women or a person with disability, especially those
suffering from chronic asthma and other chronic pulmonary ailments, chronic hypertension/arrhythmia,
and other chronic ailments that old/senior, pregnant or disable persons
suffer.
This proposal is a common proposal of lawyers
and litigants from our City and its suburbs who are old/senior, pregnant, and
are classified as PWDs and who litigate cases at the Makati City Hall on a
regular basis.
Thank you for your kind assistance.
Sincerely,
Atty. Manuel J. Laserna Jr.
Founder and Consultant
Las Pinas City Bar Association
