TRIPLE DELAY IN BONGBONG’S PROTEST!

05 June 2017

In case you haven’t realized it, people, Bongbong Marcos’ protest against Leni Robredo Is still in a TRIPLE-DELAY status. And unless the pace starts picking up, the RISKS of Bongbong BEING CHEATED grow bigger and bigger by the day.

Almost TWO MONTHS after Bongbong had paid the down payment for the recount of votes covered by his protest, and almost ONE YEAR after he had filed it, NOTHING has been done to FAST-TRACK the process. Except for the Supreme Court, acting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET), rulings allowing the protest to proceed and for Biongbong and Leni to make initial payments for their suits.

First delay: Anybody correct me if I’m wrong. Among others, there has been NO ORDER from the PET to START COLLECTING ALL the ballots in the 30 provinces nationwide covered by Bongbong’s protest. Not even a conference to discuss how it will be done and how soon can it be started. Neither has the Comelec been ordered by the PET to start decrypting election data from secured digital (SD) cards.

Second delay: The ballots being questioned by Bongbong are part of his pieces of evidence. But retrieval of the ballots will take weeks or months.  So until these are retrieved, evaluation of their authenticity and relevance as proof CANNOT START.

Third delay: The evaluation and arguments by both sides on the results will also most likely take months.  God knows how long all these will take, before Bongbong’s protest is finally resolved. Meanwhile, Bongbong and us ordinary mortals HAVE NO ASSURANCE UP TO NOW THAT CHEATERS ARE NOT, OR HAVE NOT BEEN, TAMPERING with any of Bongbong’s pieces of proof , or anything that can help prove he indeed had been robbed of victory in the vice-presidential polls.

Keep your eyes wide open, people. 30
