The National Bureau of Investigation-Cordillera Administrative Region (NBI-CAR) broke ground on its new regional headquarters along North Drive in Baguio City, BusinessWorld reported. The planned eight-story building, backed by a P350-million budget, is expected to bolster criminal investigations and public service across the Cordillera region.
The facility will house offices, forensic laboratories, and detention cells, addressing the NBI-CAR's long-standing need for a dedicated hub. The building's construction is part of a broader effort to enhance law enforcement capabilities in the highland region.
Local officials hailed the project as a milestone for CAR's public safety infrastructure. The groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday marked the start of a new chapter for NBI operations in the area.
