Adding distinction to the occasion, Barangay Justiniana Edera is a first-time LTIA awardee, reflecting its sustained commitment to strengthening barangay justice mechanisms, promoting peaceful and amicable dispute resolution, and fostering harmony within the community.

Beyond the assessment, the onsite validation provided an avenue to recognize the barangay’s good practices and encourage the continued enhancement of its Katarungang Pambarangay mechanisms.
