Who is Luzviminda Tancangco?

Luzviminda Tancangco is the first non-lawyer and woman commissioner of the Philippine Commission on Elections. She was also its first female acting chairman.

She served from 1998 to 2004, and is one of only four women to have been appointed to the Commission.

GMANews.TV reported that in August 2002, "NAMFREL and other civil society organizations" filed an "impeachment complaint" against "COMELEC Commissioner Luzviminda Tancangco", and that the complaint was "endorsed by Rep. Monico Puentevella". The Congress of the Philippines dismissed the complaint on February 3, 2003, and found it "not sufficient in substance". Ms. Tancangco continued to serve on the COMELEC until February 2, 2004.
