Former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has asked the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) to reverse its decision junking his election protest against Vice President Leni Robredo.
Marcos appealed the decision on Monday even if the PET — which is composed of all justices of the Supreme Court — has already voted unanimously to uphold Robredo’s victory in the 2016 election due to the former senator’s failure to make a substantial recovery of votes and present proof of irregularities.
In his motion for reconsideration, the former senator insisted his third cause of action — the annulment of 2016 election results for vice president in Lanao del Sur, Basilan, and Maguindanao — could proceed independently from the manual recount and judicial revision.
