MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Leni Robredo said she is hopeful that the Supreme Court, sitting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal, will issue a favorable decision in the electoral protest against her by former Sen. Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. The tribunal has yet to issue a decision on the protest of Marcos, who sought a recount in three pilot provinces — Camarines, Negros Oriental and Iloilo. The vice president emphasized that the court's decision will have an impact on the credibility of the 2016 national elections. So kapag hindi natin tiniwalaan iyong electoral process, parang sinasabi natin na iyong lahat na nakaupo ngayon , huwad ," she said. So if we don't believe in the electoral process, it's like saying that those who are sitting now are frauds.)
