San Juan Congresswoman Advocates for Code Reform to Enhance Justice Accessibility

San Juan City Congresswoman Ysabel Maria "Bel" Jorge Zamora-Jornada is actively promoting legislative measures to reform the Code Commission and the Code of Crimes, with the goal of fostering a justice system that is more accessible and equitable to Filipinos.

In her role as a lawyer-legislator and Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Revision of Laws, Zamora-Jornada emphasized the importance of these bills, stating, "These measures will establish a clearer, fairer legal framework, making justice accessible and responsive to the Filipino people."

The congresswoman also expressed her appreciation for Dean Gwen De Vera of the UP College of Law, a former professor and resource person at the committee hearings. "I am deeply grateful to UP Law for its decades of rigorous legal service that laid the foundations for us to ensure that law and justice genuinely serve the nation," she noted.

These initiatives underscore efforts to modernize the country's legal codes, aiming for a system that better addresses the needs of the public and upholds justice efficiently.
