They were given time to submit their formal offer of exhibits and memorandum before the case will be submitted for resolution.
In yesterday’s hearing, the governor’s daughter and lead counsel Cristina Codilla-Frasco presented as witnesses Provincial Administrator Eduardo Habin; Noli Valencia, head of the Provincial Human Resource Office; Provincial Attorney Marino Martinquilla and Board Member Peter John Calderon.
