Right-wing party-list solon wants Comelec chair's mental fitness examined

From InterAksyon (Nov 14): Right-wing party-list solon wants Comelec chair's mental fitness examined

A lawmaker from a Right-wing party-list that was recently disqualified from the 2013 elections asked the House of Representatives to examine the mental fitness of Commission on Elections chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. “The recent actuations and pronouncements made by the Comelec chairman show alarming signs of mental and psychological instability, which, if remained unchecked, might lead this country into anarchy, lawlessness or civil unrest considering that the 2013 elections which is going to be administered and overseen by Comelec is fast approaching,” Representative Pastor Alcover Jr. of the Alliance for Nationalism and Democracy said in House Resolution 2883. Reacting to this, Brillantes tweeted: “I am willing to undergo psychiatric exam (once again) IF Rep. Pastor Alcover would be willing to take it with me.” Alcover claimed Brillantes’ recent pronouncements about party-list groups “manifest alarming signs of mental and psychological instability and grandiose illusions of power and greatness which could very well reflect the fact that he is not mentally sound and psychologically capable of heading the Comelec.” He cited Brillantes’ statement in a media interview describing the party-list system as a joke.  He also cited the Comelec chairman’s giving credence to the letter of the watchdog Kontra Daya, even if this contained pure allegations.At a separate news conference, Alcover claimed some of the people behind Kontra Daya are communist supporters.
