KIKO TO MALACAÑANG: APPOINT COMELEC COMMISSIONERS NOW

With two vacancies for the position of commissioner in the COMELEC, Senate Majority Leader and Independent senator Kiko Pangilinan today called on Malacañang to immediately appoint competent people for the said openings.

"What's malacanang waiting for? Appoint the two Comelec commissioners now. We need a Comelec that is fully functional,"Kiko said.

"The challenges facing the COMELEC in pushing electoral reform are so serious that the delay in the appointments which have been unoccupied since Commissioner Tuazon and Commissioner Borra vacated their positions last February 2, 2008 now undermines the whole effort," Kiko added.
