The conference set in motion Marcos’ attempt to invalidate Robredo’s win in the May 2016 automated elections. ADVERTISEMENTThe PET originally set the deadline for the payment of the Vice President’s P15.45-million protest fee for July 14. In her counterprotest, Robredo, who narrowly beat Marcos by more than 260,000 votes, has challenged the results of the election in 31,278 polling precincts. Robredo said she was confident that no irregularity happened in her home province of Camarines Sur, one of the areas whose election results were being questioned by Marcos. Robredo also asked donors seeking to help her raise money for the legal fees to inquire with the Supreme Court on how they could contribute.
