MANILA — The Commission on Elections has designated John Rex Laudiangco as spokesperson and the acting director of its education and information department (EID), effective Sept. 17.

Laudiangco, previously director of the Comelec law department, replaces James Jimenez who recently retired.

Comelec chair George Erwin Garcia approved Laudiangco's new designation in a memorandum dated Sept. 15.

Laudiangco was named acting spokesperson of the Comelec last May by then-chair Saidamen Pangarungan.

Named co-vice heads of the ad hoc Omnibus Election Code Revision Project were Deputy Executive Director for Operations Teopisto Elnas, Jr. and Deputy Executive Director for Administration Helen Aguila-Flores.
