SIx election officers will be sent to Mindanao to help in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) elections this August 11. It will be the first automated election to be done in the nation.
The group will be headed by Commission on Election (COMELEC) Assistant Regional Officer, Atty. Veronico G. Petalcorin. The group will be destined for Basilan. The debate remains whether the voting will continue or be the ususal especially after Supreme Court was against the signing of the agreement for the peace in Mindanao.
Also with Petalcorin are: Araceo Labarya (Bohol Elections Supervisor), Edwin Palgan (Municipal Elections Officer – Ubay), Roy Rafael Montoya (Municipal Elections Officer – Sagbayan), Paul Bendiolan (Municipal Elections Officer – Sevilla), and Joseph Cebiba (Municipal Elections Officer – Maribojoc).
