MANILA, Philippines - As the House leadership threatens Vice President Leni Robredo with impeachment, the late dictator’s son Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. might take her place. “If the PET rules later on in favor of the protest, then Bongbong will take over the post,” he added. Marcos filed the protest on June 29, 2016, claiming that the camp of Robredo cheated in the automated polls in May 2016. Robredo filed her answer in August and sought the dismissal of the protest for lack of merit and jurisdiction of PET. Alvarez believed that the Vice President might have betrayed public trust in her video message to the UN that destroyed the country before the international community.
