                    [Summary] => Commission on Elections (Comelec) Commissioner Luzviminda Tancangco faced off yesterday with a lawyer of the National Movement for Free Elections (Namfrel) on allegations of the non-government organization that she was responsible for the poll body’s failure to computerize elections in 2001.


Amid sneers and jeers, Tancangco demanded that lawyer Jose Bernas prove Namfrel’s allegations, when she questioned him during yesterday’s hearing on the group’s petition to be allowed to conduct a quick count in next year’s elections.
