Statement of Senator Richard J. Gordon regarding the untimely death of Comelec Commissioner Romeo Brawner

The untimely death of Comelec Commissioner Romeo Brawner has doubtlessly caught many of us by surprise.

He was a good lawyer with an impeccable record of integrity. It will be difficult to replace Commissioner Brawner, but we recognize that we must strive to continue the work of modernizing our country's electoral process through automated elections - especially with the ARMM elections just two months away. At the appropriate time, we must do our best to fill the void left by Commissioner Brawner and we hope that the new Comelec Commissioner will aid us in ensuring free, credible, and honest elections.
