Public Attorneys Office(PAO)

May I know what the overall retention period is done by PAO, and if possible, PAO Naga? How long does PAO and PAO Naga keep documents related to cases from 1997 to 1998 according to PAO’s document management system and processes? Are the case documents from 1997 to 1998 in PAO Naga already disposed?

Our response to your request is due on Apr 29, 2022 09:13:24 PM. Unfortunately, it is taking longer than expected to deal with your request because we are still looking for the memorandum on file retention considering that the period you are asking for is around 24 years ago.

I apologize for this delay but have applied for an extension so we could work further on your request. We hope to be able to send you a response on or before May 27, 2022 09:13:24 PM.
