Executive departments and agencies will be left in order by the outgoing Duterte administration and ready to take new directions from incoming presumptive President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s administration to ensure a hassle-free transition, said Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go.
As directed by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, Go said preparations are ongoing by Malacañang for the upcoming formal transfer of power to President-elect Marcos Jr. on June 30.
According to Go, a regular companion of the outgoing Chief Executive, Duterte gave early instructions for continued preparation by all agencies under the Executive for Marcos’ assumption to the Palace top post by end of June.
The administration senator said the outgoing Chief Executive also gave direct orders to his Cabinet and transition team to make sure it would be an “orderly and systematic” transfer of power to newly installed President Marcos Jr.
Go added this was why the new President and his Cabinet are expected to be met by an Executive department ready to serve the new administration.
He recalled that outgoing President Duterte earlier signed last May 10 Executive Order 47 creating a presidential transition committee led by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea. The committee is intended to guarantee there would be no gap in government services, more so in the sector needing government assistance when Marcos Jr. officially assumes the Office of the President at noon of June 30.
