PET junks Robredo bid to dismiss poll protest

The Supreme Court has junked the appeal of Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo to dismiss the election protest filed by former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

The court, sitting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET), has given the go-signal to proceed with the revision and recount process of votes as it ordered the retrieval of ballot boxes and other election paraphernalia in three pilot provinces identified by Marcos.
