KIKO WELCOMES LANTO's WITHDRAWAL

Senator Francis 'Kiko' Pangilinan says Macabangkit Lanto did the right thing in declining the Commissioner's post in the Comelec.

"He did the right and honorable thing faced with a controversial past. His decision to decline the appointment spares the president from being dragged into a brewing firestorm."

Pangilinan says that those mired in controversy should follow Lanto's lead.

"A government post is bound by the people's trust. No one involved in a controversy would want to be hounded by their past while serving. It would be best to do the honorable thing and just say no."
