SC to Comelec: Itemize costs in Marcos protest vs Robredo

The Supreme Court (SC) has ordered the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to comply with its mandate in submitting the itemized costs it may be required to pay under automated elections in connection with an election protest filed against Vice President Maria Leonor Robredo by former senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who had accused Robredo of "massive fraud."

In a resolution, the High Court sitting as Presidential Electoral Tribunal required the Comelec to make a report on the actual amount it may incur and pay for election machines that will be used in recount of votes for Marcos and Robredo in the May 2016 elections .
