Malacanang wants the country’s electoral system modernized in time for the 2010 elections.
This was revealed by Press Secretary Jesus G. Dureza.
According to Dureza, modernizing the electoral process is “one of the legacy agenda” of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
He also revealed that the executive department has submitted a supplemental budget of P11.9 billion for its implementation and hopes that Congress would approve it along with the proposed 2009 budget. (PIA/Bohol)
