Bongbong Marcos accuses BIASED COMELEC of defying SC order
The camp of former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. hit the Comelec for allegedly violating a Supreme Court order.
Marcos’ office accused the Comelec of going against the SC order to preserve election materials and data from the May elections. Bongbong Marcos, who ran as vice president, is still contesting the win of Vice President Leni Robredo, saying the results were manipulated.
His camp earlier opposed the return of more than 1,000 vote-counting machines (VCM) to Smartmatic because of their ongoing protest. It said supposedly unused SD cards from the VCMs were stripped of data during a 14-hour activity at the Comelec warehouse in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
Marcos’ counsel Jose Amor Amorado said the stripping of data was against the SC’s Precautionary Protective Order (PPO) to preserve election materials. The SC was then sitting as Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET).
“There was undue haste seen as erasing possible evidence. We find it extremely incredible why Comelec could openly defy such a lawful order of the highest court of the land just to accommodate Smartmatic and appeared to be in a rush to turn over the VCMs to Smartmatic,” Amorado said.
The stripping of data came after Comelec granted Smartmatic’s request to recall 1,365 VCMs that were allegedly unused during the May elections. The Marcos camp said many of the SD cards had data, as well as defects, while some VCMs had missing SD cards.
It also decried the extension of the activity beyond a supposed 5 p.m. deadline.
“Prudence would have dictated Comelec to wait for the PET resolution on our motion but they did the exact opposite and even conducted the stripping activity in haste with so many violations and irregularities. We really find it highly irregular if not criminal,” Amorado said.
