COMMISSION on Elections (Comelec) employees have asked President Benigno Aquino III to designate lawyer Alexander Pilotin, a field officer of the poll body in Cagayan Valley, as Commissioner, saying his appointment will advance the interest of the rank and file.
Pilotin is concurrently Regional Election Attorney for Cagayan and Election Officer of Santiago City, Isabela, posts he has held since 2008.
“Panahon na na magkaroon ng representasyon yung rank and file sa Commission on Elections. Yun yung naging basis namin (It’s about time the rank and file be represented in the Commission on Elections. That was our basis”), Union President Mark Christopher Ramirez said.
