                    [Summary] => With the Ombudsman's decision regarding the filing of charges versus Commissioner Borra, the Comelec is now again in the limelight.


As before, the news is negative. The Ombudsman merely reiterated an earlier ruling of the Supreme Court regarding the anomalous computer deal entered into allegedly by several Comelec officials, not only Commissioner Borra.

Too much danger for her, and too many unfriendlies out there. Anyway, she’s pledged – win or lose – to give Manny the Pacman a medal as our national sports hero.
