Marcos’ camp asserts PET voted in its favor

Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s camp has asserted that a recent resolution of the Supreme Court, sitting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) over his election protest, was in its favor, despite Vice President Maria Leonor Robredo’s lead in the recount and revision of votes.

Romulo Macalintal, Robredo’s legal counsel, earlier reiterated his call to dismiss the election protest based on PET’s Rule 65, which allows the electoral tribunal to dismiss the election protest if there had been no substantial recovery.
