Vice President Ma. Leonor “Leni” Robredo on Friday, July 2, said former Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. “needs to concede and accept his defeat with grace.”
In her comment and opposition filed with the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) which is composed of all Supreme Court (SC) justices, Robredo said Marcos’ motion to reconsider the tribunal’s decision that dismissed his election protest “must be denied for utter lack of merit.”
Last Feb. 16, in a unanimous vote of 15 justices, the PET upheld the victory of Robredo in the 2016 vice presidential election as it dismissed Marcos’ protest.
BRISTOL BOROUGH The Academic Oversight Committee (AOC) has had a busy fall and winter season working with the administration and faculty of the Bristol Borough School District and St. Mark School providing academic support to the students attending Bristol Boroughâs public and parochial schools, despite the impact of COVID-19.
The AOC is a community oversight board focused on providing academic enrichment. Its mission is to lead and serve the educational community in Bristol Borough to enable each student to grow into an inspired, productive, fulfilled lifelong learner. The AOCâs core focus is to provide essential extra-services not covered by a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant awarded to the Bristol Borough School District by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
