⚖️ KATARUNGANG PAMBARANGAY:
Bringing Justice Closer to the Community
The Integrated Bar of the Philippines – Agusan del Norte Chapter, in cooperation with the Officials of Barangay Baan Km. 3, Fr. Saturnino Urios University Law School, and the Urian Legal Assistance Program (ULAP), successfully conducted the Nationwide Katarungang Pambarangay and Community Legal Aid Activity on September 18, 2026, at Barangay Baan Km. 3, Butuan City.
The activity brought the law closer to the community through informative discussions on the criminal and civil cases covered by the Katarungang Pambarangay, an open forum where residents had the opportunity to raise their legal concerns, and free legal consultation and advice provided by our volunteer lawyers.
Our sincere gratitude to Punong Barangay Gemma P. Tabada and the officials of Barangay Baan Km. 3 for welcoming and supporting the activity; Prosecutor Jerold M. Joromat of the Office of the City Prosecutor of Butuan City and Atty. Florian Faith Jr. P. Bayawa of DILG Region XIII for sharing their time and expertise; and to our partner institutions, volunteers, and participants who made the activity possible.
The IBP Agusan del Norte Chapter remains committed to promoting legal literacy, peaceful dispute resolution, and meaningful access to justice at the grassroots level. ⚖️💜
