Laudiangco retains Comelec spox job
THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) will retain Law Department Director John Rex Laudiangco as its spokesperson.
The Comelec issued a memorandum signed by Acting Comelec Chairperson Socorro Inting, dated June 10 but released only on Monday, June 13, which advised Laudiangco that he will continue to be the spokesman until a new Chairman is assumed.
Laudiangco served as the poll body’s spokesperson during the short-lived tenure of former Comelec chief Saidamen Pangarungan.
Pangarungan was appointed to his post by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte last March 9, but his appointment and four others were bypassed by the bicameral Commission on Appointments (CA) last month.
Inting then became the acting poll chairperson, the most senior among sitting Comelec commissioners.
