MANILA, Philippines – Vice President Leni Robredo is hoping for a favorable decision on the electoral protest lodged by former Senator Bongbong Marcos, in view of expectations that the Supreme Court (SC) might release its decision on Tuesday. Last September 6, Chief Justice Lucas Bersamin said that the SC would release a report on the electoral protest soon. “This is the electoral process that said President [Rodrigo Duterte] won the elections, this is the same process that pronounced incumbent official as winners. But for us, we have to trust the justice system and wait for the PET’s decision,” Robredo said. /jpvRELATED STORIES:PET refuses to junk Marcos’ poll protest; Robredo’s victory claim ‘premature’Bongbong hits Robredo camp for claiming victory amid poll protestRead NextLATEST STORIESMOST READ
