‘ROBREDO DECEIVING THE PET!'

These are excerpts from the comment of Bongbong Marcos on the motion for reconsideration by Leni Robredo for the adoption of the 25 percent threshold on ballot shading in the recount of their votes instead of the 50 percent which has been the Presidential Electoral Tribunal’s (PET) standard since 2010.


Marcos argued there was "no categorical declaration" in Comelec Resolution No. 16-0600 that the 25-percent shading threshold was adopted by the poll body en banc "during the judicial recount and revision of ballots in election protest." Citing Comelec Executive Director Jose Tolentino Jr., he said the Project Management Office and the Electoral Contests Adjudication Department of the commission have not provided guidelines on manual counting.

Guidelines used by the Random Manual Audit Committee were intended "exclusively" for use by random manual audit teams in random manual audit activities. The memorandum by Comelec Commissioner Luie Guia to then-SC clerk of court Felipa Anama had "no mention" if the guidelines were adopted by the Comelec for recounts in poll protests, Marcos added.

Marcos further argued that using a 25-percent threshold in a manual recount was "absurd," as the Random Manual Audit Report itself "admitted" its "impossibility" when human eyes, not machines, are determining the validity of votes. "Based on the foregoing, protestee Robredo is obviously deceiving this Honorable Tribunal by claiming in her motions that there was a Comelec Resolution mandating the applicability of the 25-percent shading threshold in the appreciation and segregation of votes during the judicial recount and revision of ballots in an election protest.”  

Marcos also accused Robredo of laches, or unreasonably delaying the assertion of a right, since she only asked for the application of the 25-percent standard after the manual recount started.

This is mine:  Bongbong cited three CYSTAL-CLEAR grounds in his comment. Robredo ONLY HAD a Comelec resolution adopting the 25 percent threshold which was issued in September or FOUR MONTHS after the May 2016 polls. Briefings were held before the recount started last April and Robredo was NEVER REPORTED AS HAVING OBJECTED to the 50 percent threshold. ONLY NOW is she making a lot of noise about it, and INSISTING ON WHAT SHE WANTS like a SPOILED BRAT. Sumagot na ang gustong sumagot.
