PNoy appoints 2 new Comelec commissioners

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO–President Benigno Aquino III has recently appointed two new commissioners to the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

Former ambassador Macabangkit Lanto and election lawyer Maria Bernadette Sardillo replaced retired commissioners Rene Sarmiento and Armando Velasco.

Lanto, 70, is also a former Justice undersecretary, a former member of the House of Representatives and a former tourism undersecretary.

Sardillo is native of Iriga City. She was described by Mr. Aquino as a demonstrator of mettle in defending the rights of the citizenry especially during the previous elections.

Mr. Aquino announced the appointment of the two new commissioners on Thursday during the launching and signing of the memorandum of agreement on Agri-Turismo in Davao.

Aquino’s Team PNoy 2013 slate welcomed the appointment of two new commissioners “as a step forward in ensuring that the Comelec’s efforts towards having a clean and fair elections in May is more achievable.”

The Comelec’s labor union also welcomed Lanto and Sardillo’s appointments saying, “These appointments are a big boost to the Commission who is now at the thick of preparations for the May 13, 2013 elections.” ●Charlene A. Cayabyab
