The memorandum signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, dated September 20, will take effect immediately. It is addressed to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla and other ERC members.
According to the memo, the appointment is intended to ensure the ongoing delivery of public services in the ERC until the President names a permanent replacement or further instructions are issued.
