New Aklan Comelec supervisor assumes post


BY BOY RYAN B. ZABAL

A new Commission on Elections (Comelec) provincial supervisor in Aklan assumed on December 28 in the person of Atty. Gloria Doronilla. 

Aklan Provincial Comelec Supervisor Atty. Ian Lee Ananoria was assigned in Guimaras province to replace Provincial Comelec Supervisor Atty. Salud Milagros Villanueva.

Prior to her assignment in Aklan, Doronilla previously worked in Comelec-Iloilo in 2016 and Comelec-Capiz in 2013. 

All Comelec provincial supervisors in the region were temporarily reassigned or re-shuffled for purposes of the forthcoming 2019 May mid-term national and local elections, according to Comelec-Aklan spokesperson Crispin Raymund Gerardo.

The poll body has set the election period from January 13, 2019 to June 12, 2019. The election day is scheduled on May 13, 2019.

Gerardo said the inter-agency committee of Comelec, Philippine National Police (PNP) and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) also convened the Provincial Joint Security Control Center to discuss security measures in the province for peaceful and orderly elections. 

“Comelec has the authority in security and preparations for May mid-term election. Gun ban is also in effect during the Kalibo, Aklan Ati-Atihan festival,” he stressed.

Prohibited acts during the election period are the transfer of civil service eligible employees, suspension of any elective provincial, city, municipal or barangay officer and use of security personnel or bodyguards by candidates. 

Police will also conduct simultaneous checkpoints across the province of Aklan starting January 13 to ensure compliance on nationwide gun ban under Comelec Resolution No. 10429.
