THE law says the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) should have rendered a final decision on the protest filed by former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. against the “election” of Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo two years ago.

The Public Information Office of the Supreme Court acknowledged receipt of my column last week titled “The Supreme Court and the Presidential Electoral Tribunal.” In reply, I asked what it was going to do about it. Will it be referring the matter to the appropriate officials in the high tribunal? I never got a response.
