THE CHAIRMAN. Is Garcillano the immediate superior of Sumalipao?<br />

THE CHAIRMAN. Sige, please proceed.<br />

MR. GUDANI. That was my question to him, Mr. Chairman, Your Honor,<br />

sir,<br />

SEN. LACSON. I just like to clarify, was Garcillano Commissioner incharge<br />

And I saw directives or memorandum to Sumalipao signed by<br />

Garcillano.<br />

SEN. LACSON. At that time Sumalipao was PES, provincial elections<br />

supervisor?<br />

MR. GUDANI. Yes, Your Honor.<br />

was provincial elections supervisor, now he’s already a regional<br />

director.<br />

MR. GUDANI. Yes, Your Honor.<br />

SEN. LACSON. What did he do <strong>for</strong> humanity to deserve the meteoric<br />

promotion or meteoric rise?” (Brig. Gen. Francisco Gudani, t.s.n.,<br />

Senate Committee on National Defense and Security, September<br />

28, 2005; emphasis supplied)<br />
