Dear Mr. Tabungar:

This has reference to your letter to the Department, dated October 17,2077, requesting for
the issuance of a Memorandum Circular (MC) encouraging and authorizing local
government officials and functionaries to attend the upcoming local planning and
development capacity building activities to be held in 2018.

P1ease refer to the attached DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2010-139, dated December
2,2070, which states that, "It is understood that any in-country convention, seminar or
training attended by a local government official or employee, with the use of local funds,
is within the purview of the Capability Development Agenda of the participating local
government". Hence, the issuance of a Memorandum Circular from this Department
authorizing local officials and functionaries to participate in different events and activities
is no longer necessary.

Likewise, it is understood that the approved Travel Order issued by the Local Chief
Executive of the concerned official or employee may form part of the supporting
documents for cash advance purposes, subject to all pertinent laws, rules and regulations.

We wish you well for the success of your upcoming events.

Truly yours,

Tl*qs
