Commissioner no more: Guanzon now a private citizen
Commission on Elections (Comelec) Commissioner Rowena Guanzon retired on February 2, 2022, and is now a private citizen.
Before her retirement, Guanzon released her vote and a separate opinion on the disqualification case of presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.
She explained that her separate opinion was due to her belief that Commissioner Aimee Ferolino was conspiring to delay her vote.
Guanzon dismissed criticisms of her leadership, stating her role was to ensure timely release of resolutions for potential appeals, not to convince other commissioners.
She retired with a grateful heart after seven years of service and indicated this is not the end of her public service career.
