Bongbong slams Leni’s ‘brazenness’

Former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., defeated candidate for vice president, hit the camp of Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo on Wednesday for claiming victory in his poll protest against her even as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) is yet to resolve the matter.
“We are appalled once more by the brazenness of Mrs. Robredo and her Liberal Party in claiming victory in my still ongoing election protest just as the tribunal announced that no action has been taken by the court on the Caguioa report,” Marcos said in a statement.
The former senator was referring to the report of Justice Alfredo Benjamin Caguioa on the recount of votes that was submitted to the tribunal for deliberation.

Supreme Court spokesman Brian Keith Hosaka announced on Tuesday that the manual recount in 5,415 voting precincts of three test provinces was already finished.
Marcos, who lost the race to Robredo in the 2016 elections, has identified election precincts in the provinces of Iloilo, Negros Oriental and Camarines Sur for recount and revision of ballots, alleging “massive cheating” that led to his loss.
“We have not received any formal notice or decision from the PET regarding this matter… Clearly, there has been a concerted effort to intimidate and coerce the [electoral] tribunal with their underhanded mind-conditioning tactics,” he said.
Robredo’s camp has remained unfazed by potential threats that may “deviate” from the results based on the original revision and recount of votes.

"THE NATIONAL MEDIA WAS PART OF THE CONSPIRACY THAT STOLE OUR VOTES IN 2016" - Netizen

Ballot Boxes | Photo from Manila Times For all the controversy that surrounds the Philippines’ 2016 National Elections, a netizen pointe doubt how eerily quiet mainstream media is which spells media blackout. In an article written by Daryll Kim and shared by Eric Clark Su, it discussed how the national media is seemingly part of the conspiracy that, as Kim claims, “stole our votes in 2016.” Except for UNTV and Rescue, most major media outlets are mum on the latest Senate hearing about the alleged massive election fraud while eager to continuously report on bigtime celebrity Kris Aquino. Recently, there was a video footage of a part of the Senate hearing that was taken down by Facebook, and Kim lays down the link this incident possibly has to the Yellow opposition. “More troubling is that video footage (full and partial) and posts relating to the said hearing shared were taken down by Facebook. Surprise, surprise! Facebook Philippines Head of Public Policy was Bu...
