I have just consulted a former Justice department official on Leni
Robredo’s non-payment of the fee for her counter-protest versus Bongbong Marcos
over last year’s vice-presidential polls. The former official said the PET
should DISMISS Leni’s counter-protest immediately, and proceed with the recount
of the votes without delay.
My source described as irrelevant the argument of Leni’s lawyer
Romulo Macalintal who cited their pending motion for reconsideration of the PET
ruling allowing Bongbong’s protest to proceed as basis for their non-payment.
My source noted that Leni’s counter-protest was DIFFERENT from
that of Bongbong’s. They are not combined in Bongbong’s protest. So whatever
order the PET issues concerning her action is for THAT ALONE, and is NOT
SUBJECT to any issue concerning her in Bongbong’s protest. My source said it
was disappointing for Leni and Macalintal to raise their pending motion as
justification for not paying the deposit required by PET, since both are
supposed to be lawyers.
More importantly, my source emphasized that the PET ISSUED AN
ORDER TO LENI to make an initial payment for her counter-protest, making it
MANDATORY. The order had a SPECIFIC DEADLINE for compliance, and did not state
any conditions or exceptions which would allow an INDEFININTE DEFERMENT of the
payment.
It would be surprising, my source said, if the PET will NOT IMMEDIATELY
dismiss Leni’s protest versus Bongbong because of her non-payment. To which I
added it would be both DISGUSTING AND INSANE for Leni and Macalintal to expect
the PET to spend for her counter-protest, first, for it to start moving. 30
she knew she's gonna lose so why pay
ReplyDeleteWhy will Leni pay? She know very that she did not won in the last election simply because a lot of people hate the LIBERAL PARTY, second 4 of the candidates came from Bicol including Leni (Chiz, Trillanes, Honasan). It's very hard for her to win, Bicol vote is divided among the 4 of them and some of the Bicolanos voted for BBM. BBM has a solid north and a lot in eastern visayas and Mindanao.
ReplyDeleteagree!
DeleteDapat nga idismiss na ang counter protest ni robredo at umpisahan na ang dapat gawing recount agad agad para matapos na ang issue na kung sino talaga ang nanalo. Bakit naman kasi ang bagal kumilos ng supreme court, baka naman nabayaran na sila ni abnoy.
ReplyDeleteAng SC ang may kasalanan nian kc sila ang nagpapabagal sa protesta ni Bbm. Hindi nila alam ang gagawin nila kung susundin ba nila amo nilang si abnoy or ung nakasaad jan sa saligang batas ng pinas. Dito sa US ang mga liberal humingi ng recount tbe Presidential eh ilang araw lang tapos na agad. Yang mga alagad ng mga dilaw na liberal ang problema ng bansa kc wala yan silang sinusunod na batas kc sila ang batas at pera. Yang dilaw pera pera lang labanan nian kaya ang SC hindi makadecide kung anu dapat gawin. Dapat sa kanila palitan lahat.
