| Unfortunately, history recalls that this mode of electing the IBP national officers was marred with unethical politicking, electioneering and other distasteful practices. Thus, on October 6, 1989, the Court in Bar Matter No. 491, dated October 6, 1989, ordered: 1] the annulment of the just concluded national elections; 2] the abolition of the system of election of national officers by direct action of the House of Delegates; 3] the restoration of the former system of having the IBP-President and the EVP elected by the IBP-BOG from among themselves, with right of succession by the EVP to the presidency and subject to the rule that "the position of Executive Vice President of the IBP shall be rotated among the nine (9) IBP regions;"[13] 4] the holding of special elections for the election of the first set of IBP-President and EVP;[14] and 5] the appointment of a caretaker board to administer the affairs of the IBP pending the holding of special elections.[15] | |||||
