Detained opposition Senator Leila M. de Lima has called the Filipino people to
remain united and vigilant for the protection of the votes in the vice
presidential polls against any manipulation.
After Robredo won in the last election in 2016, former
Senator Bongbong Marcos has filed a protest before the Supreme Court questioning
the results of the polls.
“Let’s protect VP Leni & the sanctity of our votes,” De
Lima tweeted.
“The injustices and impunity happening in our midst for the
last 3 yrs must not be compounded by an injustice inflicted upon our sovereign
will,” she added.
De Lima, an ally of Robredo, also asked the public to pray
for ”a just and judicious ruling from the Presidential Electoral Tribunal.”
The lady senator was a
known election lawyer before she joined government service, said the Filipinos
should protect Robredo and the votes she received from the more than 14 million
Filipino voters that rooted for her.
Meanwhile, the lady Senator from Bicol asked the Filipino public
to join her in praying for a just decision from the Supreme Court in relation
to Marcos' electoral protest.
"Let's pray for a just and
judicious ruling from the Presidential Electoral Tribunal," she said.
