MANILA, Philippines -- A day after being appointed as commissioners of the Commission on Elections by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, retired Court of Appeals Justice Lucenito Tagle and Malabon regional trial court judge Leonardo Leonida have taken their oaths.

Comelec chairman Jose Melo administered the oaths to Tagle and Leonida around 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

Tagle and Leonida said they were eager to help the other officials, especially in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao elections in August.

The new appointments filled up two of the three vacant posts in the electoral body after commissioners Resurrection Borra and Florentino Tuazon retired and Romeo Brawner died.
