Providing Legal Services Closer to Home

โš–๏ธ Every consultation is a step toward justice. Every client deserves to be heard, respected and empowered. Through legal aid, we strive to make the law accessible to everyone because justice should never depend on oneโ€™s circumstances. Together, we serve, advocate and make a difference. ๐Ÿ’™

Bridging the gap between the law and the people. One client, one case, one act of service at a time. โš–๏ธโค๏ธ

Special thanks to Barangay Balili, La Trinidad, Benguet for accommodating our law student practitioners and their supervising lawyers, Atty. Nolibeth B. Banao, Atty. Julie M. Binaldo - Velasco, Atty. Susana C. Gapla-ew - Umayat, Atty. Joey Artem T. Torres, Atty. Mario S. Timario Jr. and Atty. Richard S. Piaga.

UC Barangay Legal Aid SUBLI recently visited Barangay Ucab, Itogon, on July 29 and 30, to provide free legal consultation and notarization of simple, non-commercial documents.

Driven by our commitment to service, we continue to extend legal assistance beyond Baguio Cityโ€”reaching neighboring barangay communities.

We strive to ensure that no one is left without access to justice, because distance should never be a barrier to legal help.

By bringing the law closer to the people, we hope to inspire trust, promote fairness, and make justice truly accessible for all. Every client deserves not only legal assistance, but also clarity, compassion, and the reassuring embrace of justice. โš–๏ธ

Special thanks to Barangay Ucab, Itogon, Benguet, for accommodating our law student practitioners and their supervising lawyers, Atty. Abigail Bersamin, Atty. Jodea Brendalyn Acay, Atty. Dennis Tovera, and Atty. Charmaigne Ngaosi.

The University of Cordilleras College of Law is grateful for the utmost support of Barangay Poblacion, La Trinidad Benguet for accommodating our Law Student Practitioners and esteemed lawyers last July 21 and 22, 2026 at Poblaciรณn Barangay Hall in the conduct of our free Legal Aid Services.

โ€ŽSaid activity served not only as a learning experience for the students but also showed how noble the law profession is as it serves as a glimpse of hope for a lot of people.
โ€ŽWhile the acronym "SUBLI', means Service, Uphold, Bridge, Learn and Integrity, 'subli' is also an Ilocano word that means return.

โ€ŽIndeed, the students will surely return to this humbling experience as they face not only the remaining days of their law school journey but also the career they have chosen.

โ€ŽFurther, we would also want to extend our deepest gratitude to the lawyers who imparted their knowledge and service during the activity including the following: Atty. Dennis Tovera; Atty. Miller Quintin Jr.; Atty. Wilfred Carbonell; Atty. Jenelyn Lapas; Atty. Cyrus Calaya; and most especially, Atty. Mary Megan Tabora.

โ€ŽIn the end, this activity will not be successful without the participation and dedication of Poblaciรณn Barangay constituents who have given their full trust and appreciation to this activity.

โ€ŽSalasalamat kakailyan! Agbiag!

Justice strengthens enterprises when entrepreneurs are informed, protected, and empowered by the law.

The University of the Cordilleras Legal Aid Clinic (UC LAC) participated in the 2026 Cordillera MSME Summit, organized through the partnership of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the University of the Cordilleras, held on July 22โ€“23, 2026 at the UC Theatre.

Guided by the theme, "Navigating the Shift: Building Resilient and Future-Ready MSMEs," the two-day summit brought together entrepreneurs, government agencies, academic institutions, industry partners, and other stakeholders in support of a stronger and more resilient MSME sector.

As part of this collective effort, the UC Legal Aid Clinic rendered free legal aid services to local entrepreneurs and MSMEs, advancing access to justice by providing legal guidance and fostering greater awareness of the rights and obligations of business owners.

The UC LAC extends its sincere appreciation to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the University of the Cordilleras, and all participants for this meaningful collaboration. The Clinic also recognizes the invaluable guidance of its supervising lawyers, Atty. Jennifer Aquino, Atty. Marlon Aquino, and Atty. Harvey Lance Ong Garcia. Together, we affirm that access to justice is not only a pillar of the law, but also a foundation for empowered entrepreneurs and thriving communities.

The University of the Cordilleras College of Law Clinical Legal Education Program 2 students, together with their Supervising Lawyer Atty. Paul Nichol R. De Vera, in partnership with Barangay Pinget, successfully held a Barangay Law Lecture Series focusing on the Safe Spaces Act and the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act last July 15, 2026. The activity was attended by active community leaders, parents, youth, and organizational representatives (KALIPI, PTA, PDJODA, and Senior Citizens Association) whose enthusiastic participation made this event a resounding success.

Together, let us continue to champion legal awareness, protect the rights of every individual, and build a stronger, more compassionate community that is safe for all.
