Marcos claims SC set ‘very bad precedent’ in junking VP protest Apr 20, 2021 7:09 PM PHT Defeated candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr said the Supreme Court (SC) did him wrong by dismissing his electoral case against Vice President Leni Robredo. In a statement on Tuesday, April 20, Marcos took issue with the refusal of the SC, acting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET), to fully investigate his claims of widespread electoral fraud in Lanao del Sur, Basilan, and Maguindanao during the 2016 elections. The PET, which recently released a full copy of its ruling, had dismissed the case because Marcos did not sufficiently justify an annulment of elections in the 3 Mindanao provinces – the 3rd and final cause of action in his protest.
