Stop delaying poll case, Marcos camp tells Robredo

THE camp of former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Sunday branded as a “delaying tactic” the plan of Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo’s top lawyer to seek reconsideration of the ruling of the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) allowing their election protest to proceed.

Marcos spokesman and lawyer Victor Rodriguez said they were not surprised by the pronouncement of Robredo’s counsel, Romulo Macalintal, that they will appeal the recent PET decision that found the election protest of the former senator to be sufficient in form and substance.
