Office of the Vice President : Press Release

The true voice of the people will be confirmed.

This was the confident reaction of Vice President Noli “Kabayan” De Castro to the latest resolution of the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) on the election protest of defeated vice presidential candidate, former Senator Loren Legarda-Leviste.

Patuloy ko pa ring kinikilala ang kapangyarihan at kakayahan ng Korte Suprema na pagpasyahan ang electoral protest na ito. Naniniwala ako na iisa ang aming layunin: na lumabas ang katotohanan sa nakaraang eleksyon para sa pagka-bise presidente.

The Vice President reaffirmed his faith in the judicial system as he vowed to uphold the country’s legal and constitutional processes.

The PET, in its resolution, emphasized that even as it finds the protest sufficient in form and substance, “nothing as yet has been proved as to the veracity of the allegations.”
