Comelec: Remarks of AIM alumni in ensuring credible elections 'unnecessary'

"Casting aspersions on the Comelec and its deputized agencies, without suficient basis, is the last thing we need now, more so that we are already in the homestretch of the campaign. It betrays the honest and tireless efforts of our poll workers who have been sacrificing a lot just to ensure the success of the polls," Comelec Commissioner Socorro Inting said.
