Assailed evidence came from the tribunal, a Marcos spokesperson says
(Eagle News) — The camp of former Senator Bongbong Marcos on Wednesday accused Vice President Leni Robredo of “dishonoring” the Presidential Electoral Tribunal.
Lawyer Victor Rodriguez, Marcos’ spokesperson, said Robredo did this when her lawyer Romulo Macalintal accused the former senator of “tampering evidence” in support of Marcos’ electoral protest against her.
Macalintal was referring to the ballots which Marcos showed the media in a press conference on Monday.
The ballots’ circles which voters were required to shade to show who their chosen candidates was had been replaced by “mysterious squares,” Marcos had said.
According to Rodriguez, the PET, after all, was the “source of the soft copies of all the ballot images we presented.”
” I call on Mrs. Robredo not to disrespect the Tribunal with a desperate claim,” he said.
“Mrs. (Robredo) is still at a loss on how to counter the damning evidence presented by former Sen. Bongbong Marcos that she has now, thru counsel, accused the former Senator of tampering the evidence,” Rodriguez said.
Robredo was declared the winner of the vice presidential race in 2016 after she supposedly obtained at least 200,000 votes more than Marcos.
