Robredo refuses to accept defeat now consulting experts to study to what she claims as irregularities during election

By  Edward Era Barbacena

Leni Robredo on Tuesday, May 10, said she is currently discussing with “experts” about the allegations posted on social media on the conduct of the May 9 national polls.

Social media posts alleged irregularities in the voting and vote-transmission process, with hundreds of vote-counting machines (VCMs) malfunctioning. Some posts also questioned the “perfect” percentages of the gaps between Robredo’s and former Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s votes despite them coming from different regions.

She thanked her volunteers and supporters for being hardworking and creative because it shows what kind of society they can bring to the table.

“Dalangin ko ang kapanatagan ng loob at linaw ng kinabukasan para sa ating lahat (I pray for peace of mind and bright future for all of us),” Robredo said.

The Vice President will attend a “Misa ng Pagkakaisa at Pasasalamat” at the Naga Metropolitan Cathedral at 5:30 p.m. later.

On May 13, there will also be a gathering of supporters and volunteers in Manila.

Robredo said she will attend it to thank her volunteers but asked her supporters to wait for further details.

The latest partial and unofficial quick count from the transparency servers showed Marcos with more than 31 million votes and Robredo with 14.7 million votes.
