Robredo denies violating gag order on poll protest

Vice President Maria Leonor Robredo has denied violating a gag order issued by the Supreme Court (SC) in connection with a poll protest filed against her by former senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr., saying she was merely addressing Marcos’ alleged lies.

The Vice President made the denial in a compliance filed by her legal counsels Romulo Macalintal and Bernadette Sardillo, saying she did not disclose any sensitive information regarding an ongoing recount of votes from Camarines Sur, Negros Oriental and Iloilo in past media interviews.
