NEWS UPDATE: Leni Robredo to BongBong Marcos -- manlilinlang at sinungaling!
In a manifestation and comment to the PET, Robredo’s lawyers Romulo Macalintal and Maria Bernadette Sardillo informed the PET that Marcos submitted names of proposed witnesses who were not registered voters of the precincts as stated in his list.
“Contrary to these baseless claims, if not outright falsehood, the alleged witnesses identified by protestant Marcos are not registered voters,” Macalintal stressed.
They stressed that some were not even registered voters during the May 2016 National and Local Elections.
“Marcos must be reminded that the Honorable Tribunal is a court of law which deals with facts supported by evidence,” Macalintal said.
In his manifestation, Macalintal said:
“In his vain attempt to convince the Honorable Tribunal to conduct a technical
examination of election documents in the Provinces of Lanao del Sur,
Maguindanao and Basilan, Marcos has practically resorted to misleading if not
totally deceptive representation.”
During the preliminary conference last
July 11, both parties agreed to name three witnesses per clustered precinct and
submit it to the PET. Robredo’s camp said Marcos did not comply.
With his latest finding, Macalintal
stressed that Marcos’ election protest against Robredo was bereft of facts,
based on his latest submission to the PET.
“The plain truth is, the Election
Protest filed by protestant Marcos is not supported by his own supposed
evidence,” he added.
THE camp of Vice President Maria Leonor Robredo has accused former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos of deceiving and lying to the Presidential Electoral Tribunal after he submitted a list of witnesses from the provinces of Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao and Basilan who were not registered voters.
