THE Commission on Appointments (CA) again deferred the confirmation of the appointment of Sixto Brillantes Jr. as chairman of the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

It was the third time that the CA failed to confirm Brillantes’ appointment. The panel will hear his case on Sept. 21 after the panel ran out of time to hear the opposition filed against Brillantes by former Comelec law department head lawyer Ferdinand Rafanan.
