The human rights watchdog Karapatan has expressed fear over the delay in the release of the decision of the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) on the recount of the votes casted in the vice presidential race in 2016.

Karapatan deputy secretary-general said “there is a duplicitous and sly plan in motion to continue the political rehabilitation of the Marcoses.

Clamor said the SC en banc has yet to make any action on the matter when the retirement of both the Chief Justice Lucas Bersamin and Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio looms. With only a few years left of Robredo’s term, Clamor noted “Bongbong Marcos remains adamant in pursuing his electoral protest to have him sit as the second-highest official of the land’’.

In August 2019, Karapatan said the Sandiganbayan 2nd Division dismissed the P102-billion forfeiture complaint against Bienvenido Tantoco, a Marcos crony since there was purportedly insufficient evidence to convict him for profiting from unbridled importations of luxury goods for Rustan’s supermarket that the Marcoses allowed for 21 years.
