THE Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) has certified that Mayor Oscar Moreno and city treasurer Glenn Bañez are still recognized as the official signatories in all of city hall’s bank accounts and financial transactions.
The City Information Office (CIO) yesterday said the interior department wrote to city hall’s depository banks in response to a memorandum of the city council to the banks, urging them not to disburse funds in view of the ombudsman’s decision to dismiss Moreno and Bañez.
Yesterday, Moreno, though his team of lawyers, asked the Office of the Ombudsman to reverse its decision through a motion for reconsideration. Moreno received the official copy of the ruling on Friday.
The CIO said the city council memo prompted the DILG to quickly wrote to the banks to inform them that Moreno and Bañez have remained as the recognized mayor and treasurer, respectively, of the city.
