Romulo Macalintal on Wednesday said the PET did not specify the period of extension. “PET will determine [the period of extension] based on the arguments we will raise in our motion,” Macalintal said. ADVERTISEMENTHe said they would tell the PET that the extension should be until such time that the recount on the three pilot provinces in Marcos’ protest would have been terminated. In his protest, Marcos contested the results in a total of 132,446 precincts in 39,221 clustered precincts covering 27 provinces and cities. The PET told Macalintal to file his motion as it extended the July 14 date for Robredo’s last installment of the P15.44 million required for her counter-protest.
