Bong bong Marcos payed P36 million pesos as partial payment for his poll protest fee
The Supreme Court
sitting as Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) required former Senator
Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. a total of P66.2 million pesos to recount the past election on a certain precincts that
Marcos is protesting. The price is based on 500 pesos for each precinct covered
by the poll protest.
In his protest
Marcos, charged the election in 39,221
clustered precincts. He wants to conduct a manual count and judicial revisions
in the 36,465 precincts. And a cancellation of elections in the remaining 2,756
according to COMELEC’s data. The 39,221 clustered precincts are made of 132,446
precincts.
Marcos already
payed 36 million pesos as a partial payment and he needs to pay the remaining
amount of 30 million pesos on or before July 14. “Buti na lang may mga kaibigan
akong nagmagandang loob na naniniwalang tama at makatarungan ang aking protesta
kaya naman sila ay nagkaisa at inipon nila ang kanilang mga maibigay at sumulat
din sila ng open letter sa supreme court para nga masimulan na ang proseso.
Magkaroon na ng preliminary conference para matinggnan at mahusguhan kung ano
ba talaga ang nangyari.” The former senator said. “Masyado ng matagal ang isang
taon. Magiisang taon na mula nung nakaraang halalan, Hanggang ngayon hindi pa
din alam ng taumbayan kung sino ba talaga ang nanalo bilang bise-presidente” he
added. Marcos also said since mayor joseph Estrada declared April 12, 13 and 14
a non-working holiday. Due to this situation he settled the partial payment
Monday April 17.
However, The PET
ordered Vice President Leni Robredo to pay a P15 million for a counter-protest
she must pay a P8 million on or before April 14 and the remaining amount on or
before July 14. Also, Atty. Romulo Macalintal Robredo’s election lawyer stated
that Marcos should not only pay a P66 million for the 36,465 cluster precincts
but he must pay a P185 million for all the 92,509 clustered precincts covered
by his protest. Atty.Macalintal also
added that if every party must pay P500 per precinct, Marcos must pay a total
amount of P185 million seeing that his
protest covers 369,138 clustered precincts. Also according to Atty.Macalintal
Marcos should be the one to pay first because he is the one who filed the
election protest.
"Lahat ng election protest, ganoon.
Uunahin muna ang nagpoprotesta. Kapag natapos na ang mga nabuksang balota at
tingin niya ay meron siyang na-recover, at sa tingin ng pinoprotesta ay dapat
sagutin 'yan, saka namin pabubuksan ang ballot boxes," Atty. Macalintal said
"We are not abandoning our
obligations... We just want to be clarified kung bakit kami magbabayad ngayon e
wala pa namang pruweba na meron na siyang nare-recover na mga balota," He
added.
Even
though Former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos jr. lost a total of 219127
votes to Vice president Leni Robredo.Still he believes that he won the Vice Presidential bid
and he will never give up until he proves everyone that he is the Vice
President of the Philippines
