                    [Summary] => Chairman Alfredo Benipayo of the Commission on Elections assured the nation yesterday that the poll mo-dernization program will be in place by 2003, a year before the general elections, despite a substantial budget cut for the poll body. Of P15.1 billion proposed by the Comelec, the Department of Budget and Management has approved only about P2.7 billion for next year.
