Vice president-elect Sara Duterte-Carpio is setting up a virtual meeting with the team of outgoing Vice President Leni Robredo to formally start the transition process in the office of the second highest official of the government, her spokesperson said Sunday.
Duterte-Carpio has sent a letter addressed to Robredo dated May 27 to request an initial virtual meeting between members of their teams to "discuss protocols, policies, precedents and other matters concerning the Office of the Vice President," said Liloan, Cebu Mayor Christina Frasco.

"As can be gleaned from the letter-request of Inday Sara, the initial meeting sought will be between the teams, and not personally between the outgoing Vice President and the incoming Vice President," she said.
"It is the intention of Vice President-elect Sara Duterte to undertake as smooth and orderly a transition as possible," she added.
Robredo returned to the Philippines on Sunday after a two-week trip to New York for the graduation of her youngest daughter, Jillian, from New York University.
While the official start of her term is on June 30, Duterte-Carpio decided to hold her inauguration on June 19 in Davao City.
Duterte-Carpio was proclaimed the winner of the vice presidential race in the May 9 elections, garnering over 32 million. She will also serve as education chief under the Marcos administration.
