The Commission on Appointments (Filipino: Komisyon sa Paghirang,[1] abbreviated as CA) is a constitutional body which confirms or rejects certain political appointments made by the President of the Philippines. The current commission was created by the 1987 Constitution.[2]
While often associated with the Congress of the Philippines, which consists of the House of Representatives and the Senate, and mistakenly referred to as a congressional committee,[3] the Commission on Appointments is an independent body from the legislature, though its membership is confined to members of Congress.[2]
