Under Executive Order No. 16, Series of 2025, Garcia appointed herself as chairwoman of the Local Governance Transition Team (LGTT) and outgoing Vice Governor Hilario Davide Ill as vice chairman.

All Capitol department heads will serve as members, along with DILG Cebu Provincial Director Jesus Robel Sastrillo, Sangguniang Panlalawigan secretary Pulchra Marie Acevedo, Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Mark Anthony Ynoc, with Nerces Bispo and June Ilyn Terado of the planning office act as secretariat.
