Public Works Secretary Mark A. Villar announced that the City of San Juan will soon have more court rooms with the on-going construction of the four (4) storey Hall of Justice Building Project.
Citing a report from DPWH Metro Manila First District Engineer Medel F. Chua, Secretary Villar said that the P100-million Justice Hall along Pinaglabanan Road in Barangay Corazon de Jesus is now 75 percent complete.
“We’re building eight (8) new court rooms to answer the lack of court rooms handling litigation cases in San Juan City,” said Secretary Villar.
The 6,000-square meter Justice Hall will house air-conditioned court rooms with corresponding office staff rooms and judge chamber rooms, parole and probation rooms, sheriff’s office, clerk of court office, office spaces, and roof deck with open area.
DPWH Metro Manila First District Engineering Office has recently completed the first two phases of the project amounting to P70-million.
It will also be equipped with CCTV facilities and one (1) elevator unit as well as open spaces for parking areas and storm drainage facilities upon completion of the fourth and fifth phases worth P100-million each.
“We are fast tracking the completion of this project so that San Juan City’s judges and court employees may soon transfer here,” added Secretary Villar.
