Sara’s OVP moving to Mandaluyong

MANILA, Philippines — The Office of the Vice President is preparing to move to a new office in Mandaluyong City, supposedly to “enhance efficiency” and make the OVP more accessible to the public.

“The OVP confirms that it is preparing to move to a new office in Mandaluyong City. The new location will be able to accommodate all the co-term, casual, and permanent employees of the OVP,” Vice President Sara Duterte’s spokesperson, Reynold Munsayac, said in a statement over the weekend.

“This will enhance efficiency, economy, and result in streamlined processes since all the OVP employees are within the same area,” Munsayac added.

The exact location of the new office was not mentioned in the statement, but Munsayac said it will be “more accessible to the public due to its proximity to major roads and mass transportation facilities.”

Duterte is currently holding office at the Quezon City Reception House in New Manila, Quezon City.

The 5,000-square-meter QC Reception House was used by former vice president Leni Robredo in her six years in the OVP.

“The OVP wishes to thank Mayor Joy Belmonte and the local government of Quezon City for accommodating our request to use the Quezon City Reception House,” Munsayac said.

“Unfortunately, after inspection and human resource inventory, OVP has decided to look for another location that can fully satisfy its requirements,” he added.
