Padaca to fill vacant Comelec slot?
MANILA, Philippines - Speculations are rife that former Isabela governor Grace Padaca would fill the vacant commissioner slot at the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes said he too heard reports that Padaca was being considered for the post.
Malacañang has not appointed a replacement for former commissioner Augusto Lagman, who resigned after his appointment was not renewed.
Brillantes said Padaca would be a “big asset” to the Comelec.
National Citizens’ Movement for Free Elections (Namfrel) secretary-general Eric Alvia said he had heard about such rumors but refused to comment.
