                    [Summary] => 



Sen. Richard Gordon assured the Commission on Elections (Comelec) that it would have enough time to implement the partial automation of the national polls by May next year. 


In a radio interview, Gordon said the bicameral conference committee would complete its discussions on the automated election system bill in a short period of time so that the Comelec can implement the law in key areas during the May 2007 elections.

The Constitution says members of the Commission on Elections can be removed only by impeachment. Does this exempt Comelec commissioners from being investigated or sanctioned for wrongdoing? Comelec commissioners think so. The Office of the Ombudsman thinks otherwise, arguing that an investigation is necessary to recommend the impeachment of members of constitutional bodies.

Considering that Comelec is a constitutional body tasked to uphold the right of suffrage and at least one of its top officials is under raps over a wiretapping controversy, Cuenco said revamp of the entire commission is a must to reform its tarnished image.
