LENI CAMP’S BRAINDEAD REPLY TO BONGBONG!

In a story in http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1018264/leni-bongbongs-call-for-sc-justices-inhibition-based-on-mere-speculation, Leni Robredo’s lawyer Romulo Macalintal gave this BRAINDEAD REACTION to the petition by Bongbong Marcos for the inhibition of Associate Justice Alfredo Benjamin Caguioa as supervising justice for his protest:

“The motion is not supported by any strong and compelling evidence. It is basic that mere conjectures and speculations cannot justify the inhibition of a Judge or Justice from a judicial matter.  It is unfortunate that the motion is based on mere speculations, whims, and caprices of Mr. Marcos. It is a clear indication that he is losing all hopes in his bid to wrest the vice-presidential post now that the Commission on Elections (Comelec) reiterated that it used 25-percent shading threshold during the 2016 national and local elections.”

Why BRAINDEAD? Macalintal, and for that matter Robredo, do not seem to know the difference between FACT AND SPECULATION.  Among others:

Upon his discovery, Bongbong immediately asked for a probe of the Pansol outing of Leni’s revisor and 24 personnel of the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET). Almost immediately after, Leni’s camp said a probe had already been conducted and concluded before Bongbong’s request.  Leni had advanced knowledge of the supposed probe, and Bongbong was NOT EVEN INFORMED of it. But up to now, Bongbong’s request for a copy of the investigation report has NOT BEEN GRANTED.

SARI-SARING KATIBAYAN NA NG DAYAAN ang nadiskubre sa mga balota at ballot box mula sa BALWARTE ni Leni na Camarines Sur. Pero kahit minsan, WALANG ANUMANG NARINIG O NABALITAANG AKSIYON O REKOMENDASYON ng aksiyon mula kay Caguioa.

Under the rules, a petition can be dismissed by the PET on grounds of UNPAID BALANCE.  Leni’s balance for her counter-protest against Bongbong REMAINS UNPAID MONTHS AFTER the deadline. And NEVER has it been reported that Caguioa has directed Leni to pay. Bongbong’s protest fee was paid in full before the deadline.

Bongbong ALONE was REQUIRED TO PAY more than P2 million for the decrypting and printing of ballot images. Caguioa DID NOT REQUIRE Leni to contribute EVEN A CENT. But when Leni asked for FREE COPIES of the decryption images, Caguioa READILY AGREED. There’s more.

All of these HAPPENED. These are FACTS, NOT SPECULATIONS/SUSPICIONS out of anything unproven. As lawyers, Macalintal and Leni SHOULD KNOW THIS. Even a high school student knoiws what a fact is.

These are ONE-SIDED EVENTS in Leni’s favor. And Bongbong wants Caguioa out as protest supervising justice to ONCE AND FOR ALL STOP FURTHER BIASES in Leni’s favor as his protest DRAGS ON. And not just simply because he felt like it.

At kung may MAGPUPUMILIT pang hindi pa rin biased si Caguioa, ipaliwanag agad kung ano ang lahat ng binanggit ko. Aty siguruhin lang na may detalye.  Kumontra na ang kokontra. 30
