The eight-storey building will be dedicated to both national and local government agencies, including the satellite offices of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Commission on Elections (COMELEC), to make government processes even more efficient and accessible to city residents.

Malapitan expressed his excitement over the new project and reaffirmed the city government’s commitment to prioritizing infrastructure to enhance the quality of services in the city.


“Isa sa mga malalaking proyekto ng aking administrasyon na malapit sa aking puso ay itong government center. Sa pagtutulungan nating lahat, sa oras na maitayo natin ito, wala nang Batang Kankaloo ang magpapalipat-lipat ng gusali para makipagtransaksyon sa mga ahensya ng pamahalaan ("One of the major projects of my administration that is close to my heart is this government center. Through our collective efforts, and once it is established, no more Batang Kankaloo will have to go from one building to another to transact with government agencies),” he said.

The mayor also highlighted the ongoing construction of the city government’s major infrastructure projects.

“Kaliwa't kanan po ang pagpapaunlad natin sa ating lungsod sa pamamagitan ng mga programa at proyektong mapapakinabangan ng bawat isa. Nariyan ang bagong Hall of Justice, kasama pa ang mga gusaling ipinapatayo natin sa Caloocan City North kagaya ng columbarium at crematorium, bagong city hall, PUP Caloocan, UCC College of Medicine and Health Sciences, at maging mga proyektong pabahay ("We are pushing the development of our city through programs and projects that benefit everyone. These include the new Hall of Justice and the various structures being constructed in Caloocan City North, such as the columbarium and crematorium, the new city hall, PUP Caloocan, UCC College of Medicine and Health Sciences, as well as housing projects),” he said.

“Hindi po tayo magsasawang ipakita na natutumbasan ng aksyon at malasakit at nailalaan sa tamang mga proyekto ang bawat kusing na ipinagkakatiwala ninyo sa pamahalaang lungsod ("We will never tire of showing that every centavo entrusted to the city government is matched with action, compassion, and allocated to the right projects),” Malapitan added.
