Robredo’s lead counsel Atty. Romulo Macalintal said this Sunday, explaining that the decision on the initial recount of ballots from the three pilot provinces will only resolve whether or not the election protest of Marcos will continue.
“If the PET says that Marcos has made a substantial recovery, then the PET will rule that the protest shall continue, insofar as the ballots and/or election returns questioned by Marcos from 22 remaining provinces and 5 highly urbanized cities,” Macalintal said. “In which case, Robredo remains as Vice President pending recount of ballots or returns from said 22 provinces and 5 HUCs,” he added.
Meanwhile, if PET rules that Marcos was unable to gain any “substantial recovery” from the recount of ballots from his three pilot provinces, then his protest will be dismissed.“Thus, whatever will be the forthcoming resolution or decision of the PET, VP Leni remains as Vice President,” the lawyer said.
The results of the examination of ballots from the three provinces have been submitted to the Supreme Court sitting as the PET. /jeThe comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
