I had this thought in mind in choosing the vice-presidential election protest before the Supreme Court as the subject of my column today. All requirements for the hearing process and election recount to move forward have been met. Marcos was faulted at first for refusing to concede defeat in the election, and for filing an election protest instead. Indeed, it is felt by a good majority of Filipinos that pursuing the election protest is a duty on his part. Considering the rigors and emotional toll of the protest, President Duterte will not be loath to give her or him an assignment in his administration.
