So sinasabi ko nga, katulad ng isang pamilya, katulad ng Comelec, ang isang pamilyang buo ay isang pamilyang matibay at matatag,” Garcia said.In a text message to reporters, Laudiangco said that with a complete Comelec en banc and divisions, “Resolution of more cases can be assigned and divided among them.”“Also, administrative and operations phases of the Commission’s mandate can likewise be distributed more evenly, efficiently and effectively, wherein a Commissioner-in-Charge can be designated to head a standing or working committee or a task force.”“Mas madami pong miyembro ay mas madami pong magagawa at maisasakatuparang proyekto ang COMELEC,” Laudiangco said.
