Former Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. can file a motion to reconsider the Presidential Electoral Tribunal’s (PET) ruling which denied his election protest and, effectively, affirmed the victory of Vice President Ma. Leonor “Leni” Robredo in the 2016 vice presidential election.

“Of course, he can do that , that’s one of his remedies,” Chief Justice Diosdado M. Peralta said.

The SC, in an announcement, said seven justices voted on the dismissal of the protest while eight justices voted in the result – meaning only on the dismissal and not necessarily on the reason or reasons that brought about the dismissal. Marcos’ lawyer had earlier said he was waiting for an official copy of the decision or resolution on the dismissal of the protest to gauge the proper legal remedies they would take.
