Marcos admin has good start, service improvement to continue – DOJ chief

Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Crispin Remulla said the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. had a good start and assured that the agency will continue to better serve the public.

The secretary made the remark as the 100th day of the Marcos administration on Stuarday, Oct. 8, nears.

“From the NBI [National Bureau of Investigation], we are improving the system by which the NBI is running, to prosecution service, the rules we are putting forward. We are [also] trying to improve BuCor [Bureau of Corrections] in many ways possible,” Remulla said.

“We are functioning at the very good level here, and I am confident that we are being judged well by the public,” he added. “I would give myself, I would give the DOJ a very fair grade, a very good grade.”

Among Marcos’ marching orders during Cabinet meetings is to streamline the bureaucracy and make prompt and efficient government services in the spirit of social justice.

“Let’s get our bureaucracy streamlined, so its function is better, its function is much more efficient, and easier for the public as they have to do business whatever business they have with the government,” he said in a briefing in July.

The DOJ is the government’s leading law agency responsible for upholding the rights of every Filipino, and the rule of law in the country.

In August, the DOJ led the authorities’ declaration of an all-out war against online sexual abuse and exploitation of children.

This was later followed by various operations against crime offenders and the intensified crackdown against illegal foreign workers in the country.

A mass release of over 300 persons deprived of liberty from different prison facilities across the country was also conducted last September.  – Report from Mela Lesmoras /KC-ag
