All provincial governors, city and municipal mayors are mandated to create their respective transition teams and “gather, secure, and preserve all official documents, transitions and records for proper turnover,” as stated in the Memorandum Circular No. 2019-39 of the Department of the Interior and Local Goverment (DILG).
“No, with regard to the non-performance of the obligation on the basis of that memorandum, alam mo, ayoko na ng excess baggage sa buhay,” Moreno said in an interview over ABS CBN News Channel when asked if he plans to file charges against Estrada and his team.
“With that particular memorandum, ‘yung violation nila sa transition, wala naman ‘yun eh. Ang pinahirapan lang naman nila ay ako eh… Those things, wala na ‘yan, kaligtaan na ‘yan,” he added.
