MANILA, Philippines (Updated 01:26 p.m.) — The Supreme Court sitting as Presidential Electoral Tribunal has reset voting on the former Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s poll protest against Vice President Leni Robredo. The voting was reset to October 15, a source told Philstar.com. Supreme Court Public Information Office spokesperson Brian Hosaka confirmed to reporters that "the PET did not take any action on the Vice Presidential Election Protest Case during the tribunal’s session today." Last week, the SC also deferred action on Associate Justice Alfredo Benjamin Caguioa’s report on Marcos’ poll protest. The recount result will determine whether Marcos’ protest will be dismissed or not.
