'PI signature withdrawal needs no explanation'

SIGNATORIES to the people's initiative (PI) who wish to pull out their signature from the forms submitted to the Commission on Elections (Comelec) don't need to explain the retraction and to secure notarization for the withdrawal form, the poll body said.

Chairman George Erwin Garcia said on Monday that the 'reason for withdrawal of signature,' which is among the items listed in the withdrawal form available in local Comelec offices, was just an option.
