During the time of former Presidential Adviser Del Rosario, 31 regional offices transferred but instead opened only regional satellite offices.
Again, the City Government under Mayor Sammy Co offered the best of what Pagadian can offer.
Millions of pesos were used for the supposed transfer but to no avail for some of these regional offices after establishing satellite offices, went right back to Zamboanga City, like the Department of Education, Cooperative Development Authority and others.

Mayor Samuel Co thanked Sectary Bello III for the visit and the assurance that he will express to the President Pagadian’s willingness to the transfer.
Meanwhile, Congressman Tony Cerilles has promised Pagadian his full support in this endeavor. Cong. Cerilles said that all of Zamboanga del Sur should join hands in planning what to do in order to implement the full transfer.
“By joining all our efforts, Pagadian will be the seat of government for Western Mindanao” he said.
