MANILA, Philippines — Once bypassed by the Commission on Appointments, Commission on Elections chairperson George Garcia and Civil Service Commission chairperson Karlo Nograles have secured the approval of the powerful body that vets presidential appointments.

The CA confirmed Wednesday the appointments of Garcia and Nograles, who in June were bypassed as the body did not act on their appointment by then President Rodrigo Duterte due to a lack of quorum.
