Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) chair and Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno owes Bongbong Marcos, and for that matter his supporters, an explanation. She must clarify why it TOOK 20 DAYS before the PET resolution asking Bongbong and Leni Robredo to deposit funds for the recount of their votes in the vice-presidential polls was sent to his camp.
For those who missed it, the PET resolution was arrived at on March 21. But Bongbong’s lawyers received the notice for it ONLY LAST MONDAY, April 10. So the immediate question is WHO OR WHAT caused the 20-day DELAY? I came across a story in a broadsheet which said since it was only a resolution, the procedure was for a justice to draft and send it to Sereno’s office for approval.
How much time, then, did Sereno spend to okay the resolution? The resolution was agreed upon in an en banc session, meaning all the justices were present. Approving it, therefore, should not have taken so long. Related to this, who set the deadline for the deposit tomorrow, April 14, GOOD FRIDAY, which even a sidewalk vendor knows is a NON-WORKING holiday? Why did Sereno approve the deadline? When did the resolution leave her office and when exactly was it sent to Bongbong’s camp?
Next, the gap between March 21 and April 14 is just 25 days. Since the deadline had been already included in the resolution, it should have been COMMON SENSE for those involved to fast-track the processing and dispatch of the resolution to Bongbong’s camp. But as we all see now, it was not the case. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
Apart from Bongbong, we taxpayers have all the right to know everything about this questionable delivery of the PET resolution. If Sereno would refuse to explain, then had better inhibit from proceedings on Bongbong’s protest, for delcadeza.
Remember, people, Sereno was appolinted by Bongbong’s arch enemy Noynoy Aquino.
This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
