    President Aquino designated Associate Commissioner Yorac as

    Acting
    Chairman of COMELEC Brillantes contended that the choice of the
    Acting Chairman of the Commission on
    Elections is an internal matter that should be resolved by the
    members
    themselves and that the intrusion of the President of the
    Philippines
    violates their independence. The Solicitor General averred that the
    designation made by the President of the Philippines should
    therefore be
    sustained for reasons of “administrative expediency,” to prevent
    disruption of the functions of the COMELEC.
