NO ASSURANCE PET 24 REMAIN UNCORRUPTED

The Supreme Court/Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) has rejected Bongbong Marcos’ motion for investigation into the Pansol outing of 24 of its personnel and a revisor of Leni Robredo. The PET said it conducted its own probe before Bongbong’s motion and has in fact concluded it. But, IT DID NOT REVEAL DETAILS.
So the people still have NO ASSURANCE that the PET 24 have NOT BEEN CORRUPTED by Robredo.

A lawyer whom I consulted agreed with me that it was improper, at the very least, for Robredo’s revisor to join the outing since the recount of the votes covered by Bongbong’s protest against her is ongoing. 

“And without anyone from Bongbong’s camp in the outing, there’s no guarantee that nothing irregular or unethical happened or was agreed upon between Robredo’s  revisor and the PET 24. Only a full disclosure of the results will clear the air, considering the fact that Leni’s camp has not yet presented proof of her claim that Bongbong and his people knew of the outing and were invited,” the lawyer noted.

Personally, I don’t see any reason why the findings should not be revealed either. The outing DID HAPPEN. And there’s no national security concern attached or related to it.  So why keep the results of the probe secret? 30
