THE Department of Justice (DOJ) is holding a week-long founding anniversary celebration to commemorate 127 years of upholding the rule of law, accountability, fairness and truth.
“This anniversary is evidence of the DOJ’s 127 years of unwavering commitment to upholding the principles of justice without fear, falter nor favor. May this landmark in upholding the Rule of Law serve as a constant reminder to all that the pursuit of justice is an endless journey which requires the collective efforts of us all,” said Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla during the kick-off ceremonies on Monday.
A thanksgiving Mass and an honorary lunch culminated the celebration where several years of dedication and service of loyalty awardees and retirees were honored.
Meanwhile, a welfare seminar for senior citizen employees of the department was conducted after the performance from the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) Drum and Bugle Band.
There will also be an unveiling of the photo of the very first Secretary of Justice of the Philippines, Severino Delas Alas.
A two-day government service caravan is set to happen from September 24-25 consisting of various government frontline services from the National Bureau of Investigation, the Philippine Statistics Authority, PhilHealth, and PAG-IBIG will be available for employees and their relatives.
