• Immediately upon approval, the Memorandum shall be transmitted by
facsimile to the Regional Office concerned, followed by the mailing of
the original or certified true copy of the same;

• The approved Memorandum shall officially serve as basis for the
deputized Law Enforcers to function accordingly even without the
deputation tags;

• Deputation tags shall be issued thereafter;

• Pending receipt of the deputation tags, the Regional Directors
shall provide photocopies of the approved Memorandum to each deputized
Law Enforcer which shall be surrendered upon the issuance of the
deputation tags;
