Luzviminda Gaba Tancangco is the first non-lawyer woman commissioner of the Philippine Commission on Elections. She was also its first female acting chairman (1998–1999).

She served from 1998 to 2004,[1] and is one of the six women to have been appointed to the Commission as of 2014.

Controversies[]

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".[2] The Congress of the Philippines dismissed the complaint on February 3, 2003 and found it "not sufficient in substance".[3] Ms. Tancangco continued to serve on the COMELEC until February 2, 2004.[1]
