CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- The transition team of Governor-elect Lilia “Nanay Baby” Pineda was warmly welcomed by representatives of outgoing Gov. Eddie Panlilio, led by Attorney Vivian Dabu, and the capitol’s department and unit heads during their initial meeting last Friday.
The 15-member transition team headed by Engineer Rosve Henson was composed of accountants, doctors, engineers and other technical people who were personally chosen by Pineda.
Henson said they were very thankful to Panlilio and his staff for the very cordial and professional way of treating the transition team of Governor-elect Pineda.
Henson lauded the group of Panlilio for their show of full cooperation and smooth flow of presentation during their first meeting.
Dabu and the heads of each unit and department presented their respective mandates, programs, projects, services and accomplishments. They were given five minutes each for their presentation.
It was agreed that the group of Panlilio would submit and provide the transition team with hard copies of the status of each and every department, for the perusal of the incoming administration.
The 15-member team was tasked to receive documents, evaluate and make recommendations to Pineda on what programs and services would conform to the priorities and development agenda of the governor-elect.
During the meeting, both groups agreed that the transition team would be allowed to visit each department for more information and proper orientation.
Asked if questions were raised by the transition team, Henson said the presentations were clear and their only task is to meet and receive documents from the staff of the outgoing governor.
"So far so good," Henson said as they have tentatively set their next meeting on June 15.
Henson said they are optimistic that the initial meeting will pave the way for the smooth turnover of responsibilities and obligations at the provincial government.
