BRILLANTES, COA CHIEF GET CA NOD

The Commission on Appointments (CA) confirmed yesterday the nominations of Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman Sixto Brillantes and Commission on Audit (COA) chief Ma. Gracia Pulido-Tan.

The CA earlier dismissed the complaints of critics against Tan and Brillantes. During plenary session, Senate President Pro-Tempore Jinggoy Estrada, chairman of the committee on constitutional commissions and offices, read the credentials of Tan, who worked in private law and accounting firms for 30 years before joining the government.
