No cheating in 2016 VP race, Robredo lawyer insists
Election lawyer Romulo Macalintal stated that Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s claims of being cheated in the 2016 vice presidential elections are untrue, as the Supreme Court unanimously dismissed his protest.
Macalintal, who represented Robredo in the protest, asserted that Marcos' statements are characteristic of a candidate who cannot accept defeat.
Marcos had previously claimed that his camp proved the 2016 election results were not proper, despite not winning his protest.
The Supreme Court, acting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET), dismissed Marcos' election protest against Robredo in February 2021 due to lack of merit.
