MANILA, Philippines – Elections Commissioner Luie Tito Guia’s ad interim appointment  has been recommended for confirmation by a panel  of the  Commission on  Appointments.

Guia’s  appointment was bypassed three times by the  CA’s committee on constitutional  commission and  offices simply  because  of his failure to follow up  his schedule with the committee.

The commissioner apologized to the committee, which then  unanimously   voted to  recommend  his appointment for plenary approval.

Aside from Guia, the committee  also unanimously  recommended for plenary approval  the ad interim appointment of  another  official of the Commission on Elections, Commissioner Al Parreno.
