SO, who the heck are the five Commission on Elections nominees whose names have been submitted to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo?
Here’s an excerpt from the “Lack of transparency in Comelec selection process hit” Breaking News story of INQUIRER.net reporter Veronica Uy:
On Monday, the Malacañanag-formed search committee submitted its five nominees to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo but refused name them.
“[This] lack of transparency is unconstitutional… The people have the right to know who the nominees are,†said Majority Floor Leader Francis Pangilinan.
The seven soon to be vacant seats in the poll body are currently being occupied by Resurreccion Borra as acting Comelec chairperson, Commissioners Florentino Tuason, Romeo Brawner, Nicodemo Ferrer, and Rene Sarmiento, and the still-to-be-confirmed Moslemen Macarambon.

Sen. Francis Pangilinan is indeed a lawyer. A lawyer who just speaks of only one side of the issue which favors his case. It is true that the people have the right to know, but he has forgotten to mention that the Philippine President has the prerogative to appoint an official in the Commission on Elections (Comelec) even without mentioning the nominees. So, the President is executing within the bounds of the Philippine Constitution.
I suggest to the Filipino people to be educated in order to see these things. Our politicians can really make a spin us down the road. Educate the Filipinos and increase the middle class are solutions to end this kind of breed of politicians.

WELL THE COMELEC IN BUGUEY, CAGAYAN VALLEY IS HONEST AND I SUPPORT ALL THE WAY. IMAGINE, BECAUSE OF THE MAYOR’S WANTS THE SK ELECTION WENT AHEAD WITHOUT THE COMELEC PRESENT. WITH THAT, THE COMELEC OFFICER REPORTED THIS TO HIS CENTRAL OFFICE. NOW, ADMINISTRATIVE AND CRIMINAL CASE AT THE OMBUDSMAN WAS FILED AGAINST THE CULPRIT.

I’m pretty sure Gloria Arroyo, Going to appoint somebody who can take order from her, So that they can succeed on their cheating operation just like what happen on May 10, 2004. Presidential election and 2007 election. That if there is an election comes 2010. As we already know Gloria Arroyo/cronies doing everything in their power to change the contitution law; so that she can stay into her stolen power forever.
