Heading the DCWD delegation was General Manager Gretchen G. Buena, joined by key members: Renato N. Mundo (CMD Manager), Jason G. Estrada (AHRD Manager), Michael A. Fabe (Cash Management Division Manager), and Engr. Kurt Eddison M. Claveria (WRD Manager), Ma. Steely Ann P. Raga (SCPS) and Denise D. Aquino (SIRMO A).

The discussion focused on issued Audit Observation Memoranda (AOMs) and the concrete actions to be taken to resolve them. Both parties emphasized that COA serves not merely as an oversight body but as an enabling partner of water districts, committed to extending guidance, assistance, and support in the pursuit of good governance.
The conference concluded with a shared commitment: DCWD and COA will continue to work hand-in-hand to uphold accountability, strengthen compliance, and ensure that public service remains transparent and responsive to the communityβs needs.
