According to a document released on Thursday, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has appointed Atty. Aimee Ferolino- Ampoloquio as Comelec commissioner with a term until February 2027.

“With her vast experience in election matters, Ms. Ampoloquio, would certainly contribute in ensuring our elections would be honest, orderly, peaceful, and credible,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement.

Ferolino-Ampoloquio first joined Comelec as an emergency worker in 1994, and later served as election assistant for 12 years, before she was promoted as election officer for 10 years and as supervisor more recently, said the poll body’s chairman Sheriff Abas.

“Commissioner Aimee is an inspiration to all public servants. Her ascent to Comelec leadership is a testament of her great work and her dedication to deliver quality and unparalleled service,” he said in a statement.

Comelec is preparing for the 2022 elections, despite the coronavirus pandemic.
