The camp of Vice President Leni Robredo on Monday asked the Supreme Court (SC), acting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET), to uphold its rules in resolving the electoral protest filed by her opponent former Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

On the eve of the release of PET decision on Marcos protest, Robredo’s lawyers Romulo Macalintal and Bernadette Sardillo filed a 23-page manifestation asking the Tribunal to specifically abide by its Rule 65.

In their motion, the lawyers argued the PET can’t proceed with the protest should Marcos fail to recover 20 percent of Robredo’s overall lead on votes. Robredo’s lawyers pointed out the protest is not unique for PET to disregard Rule 65 since the electoral tribunals of Senate and House of Representatives and the Commission on Elections apply the same initial determination rule in the recount process.

“All his submissions pertained only to two causes of action—the annulment of proclamation or the irregularities in the automated election system, and the second cause of action, pertaining to the recount,” she said.
