Of P15.1 billion proposed by the Comelec, the Department of Budget and Management has approved only about P2.7 billion for next year.

                    [Summary] => The appointments of Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman Alfredo Benipayo as well as two other commissioners are unconstitutional, a high-ranking official of the poll body said.


The official, a lawyer at the Comelec, noted that the "ad interim" appointment of Benipayo and Commissioners Resurreccion Borra and Florentino Tuason border on violations of two Constitutional provisions that prohibit reappointment.


Benipayo, Borra and Tuason were appointed by President Arroyo on Feb. 2 on an "an interim basis."
