In her letter dated May 27, 2022 addressed to Vice President Leni Robredo, Duterte-Carpio requested an initial meeting between members of her respective teams at the soonest possible time to discuss protocols, and policies, precedents, and other matters concerning the OVP to ensure a smooth transition.
Duterte-Carpio also requested that the initial meeting will be held via zoom.
She also mentioned in her letter that Davao City Administrator lawyer Zuleika Lopez will be coordinating with the OVP about her request.
Liloan Mayor Christina Garcia-Frasco, spokesperson of Duterte-Carpio, earlier announced that the incoming VP has formally communicated with the OVP for purposes of transition.
