On Thursday, real Vice President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. filed an omnibus motion to dismiss the counter-protest of Leni Robredo against his electoral protest.
Bongbong Marcos filed the motion following the failure of the Robredo camp to pay P15.6 million as cash deposit for her counter-protest which includes 31,278 clustered precincts.
On March 21, the Supreme Court, sitting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET), directed Marcos and Robredo to pay P66.2 million and P15.6 million, respectively for their protest and counter-protest.
Marcos was able to pay the first tranche of cash deposit worth P36 million before the set deadline last April 17 while Robredo failed to do so.
Fake VP Robredo was supposed to pay the first installment of P8 million before the deadline.
The Marcos camp also asked the PET to immediately set the preliminary conference for his election protest.
The Robredo camp was intentionally delaying the proceedings of the electoral protest by filing unnecessary motions.
