Comelec chief flunks psycho test

ANDRES Bautista, the newly-minted chairman of the Commission on Elections (Comelec), flunked the psychiatric examinations conducted by the Supreme Court (SC) and the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) when he aspired to become the nation’s Chief Justice in 2012.

A source of The Manila Times in the judiciary has said Bautista, who was chairman of the Presidential Commission on Good Government when he applied for the post, got a similar grade result with then-Associate Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, who eventually clinched the position.
