Mabuhay:
We praise your
leadership for completing the renovation of the ground floor of the Pasay City
Hall of Justice.
It is a great relief to
the lawyers, litigants, witnesses and other parties doing official business at
least on the ground floor of the hall of justice, as well as the prosecutors
and their personnel who are stationed on the ground floor.
The delayed renovation
of the 2nd and 3rd floors of your hall of justice poses a
great health risk to the lawyers, litigants, witnesses and other parties, -- who
are senior citizens, pregnant women, or persons with disabilities (PWDs) --
doing official business on the 2nd and 3rd floors of your
hall of justice, because of the thick
dirt, the scattered construction materials, furniture and fixtures, the moist,
the bad smell, the poor ventilation, and the darkness of the corridors of the
said two floors, all of which cause risky allergies and other forms of
aggravation to the poor health of the said seniors, pregnant women, and PWDs,
who suffer from cardio-vascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary
diseases, and other acute or chronic diseases.
Not to mention the
additional fact that the elevators of your hall of justice are not
working, too.
The above observation is
a common complaint of senior citizens-lawyers of our bar association who
litigate at your hall of justice.
I am sure lawyers from
other cities have the same sad observation, too.
Hence, we humbly urge
your leadership to speed up the completion of the renovation of the 2nd-3rd
floors of your hall of justice as soon as possible.
Thank you for your kind
assistance on the matter.
Sincerely yours,
Atty. Manuel Laserna Jr.
