CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY: The Palace has ordered Cagayan De Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno to submit a verified answer, not a motion to dismiss, within 15 days from receipt in connection with the charges filed against him involving the alleged missing P79-million fund.

The Malacañang order pertains to the anti-graft cases filed against the mayor and three other city hall officers involving eight “unrecorded and unsubstantiated disbursement” vouchers reportedly issued by the city treasurer to Moreno.
