VERY SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR LENI!

25 Nov. 2017

I was informed by sources from my media days that Leni Robredo still has NOT PAID the balance of her counter-protest fee against Bongbong Marcos. And that there are no indications that the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) is about to even set a second and final deadline for it.

In contrast to Bongbong, who has settled his protest fee IN FULL and in advance. That is after being given an initial payment period of a week or so, with the deadline falling last Good Friday, and was extended only when he asked for consideration.

I also found out that it’s been ALMOST THREE MONTHS after the PET approved the recount of votes in three initial provinces wherein Bongbong is contesting the election results in some precincts. But the PET still HAS NOT ISSUED AN ORDER for the retrieval of the questioned ballots. There are no signs that they are about to, and they have not given an explanation WHY they could not do so.

What’s SICKENING about this is it UNJUSTIFIABLY PROLONGS the protest, and Leni’s QUESTIONABLE STAY in the Office of the President.   Nobody knows WHEN will the PET finally order the retrieval. Add to this the WEEKS OR MONTHS it will take to finish the retrieval, and the weeks and months which will be needed to start and conclude the recount.  

Whereas if the retrieval will start now, GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH TIME WILL BE SAVED for the protest, and HOW MUCH OF THE PEOPLE’S MONEY will be spared from spending on the SUSPICIOUS LEGALITY of Leni’s vice-presidency.

That’s why I can’t help but wonder WHY THE SEEMINGLY VERY SPECIAL TREATMENT for Leni? 30
