I enclose a copy of the information you requested. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17B1vE7X-jYoENl7NGHCyWmihcdwYJxgk?usp=sharing Please note that upon checking our records, there is no DILG MC no. 96-68 with the subject regarding Town Twinning. the DILG MC no. 96-68 that is available in our records is regarding "the responsibilities of punong barangays" which is clearly not the document you are requesting. We have searched all DILG MC regarding Town twinning and there are only two that are correct, namely DILG MC No. 94-93 and 97-306.
