Papabor kay Bongbong? Robredo hopes Peralta will uphold SC’s integrity over affiliations


Vice President Leni Robredo is still keeping her faith in Chief Justice Diosdado Peralta amid fears that he will rule in favor of her rival, former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., in his poll protest against her.

On her radio show, “Biserbisyong Leni” Sunday (October 27), Robredo said she is hopeful that Peralta will uphold the Supreme Court’s integrity.

“The fact na Chief Justice siya ngayon, inaasahan natin na ang ipaglalaban niya, hindi naman iyong personal niyang mga preferences, pero ang ipaglalaban niya iyong integrity ng institution,” she said.


Robredo said Peralta is likely to be conscious of the impact of his decisions considering the Supreme Court is already under great public scrutiny.

“Alam niya naman na iyong lahat na mata, nagaabang. So tingin ko, hindi naman niya isusugal iyong buong institusyon dahil sa kaniyang personal preferences,” she said.

There has been speculation that Peralta will sway the Supreme Court, sitting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal, to rule in Marcos’ favor in the poll protest because of his voting record as associate justice of the court.


Peralta penned the decision allowing the hero’s burial for Marcos’ father, the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos. He has also ruled in favor of martial law in Mindanao and former Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno’s ouster through a quo warranto petition.

The PET recently ruled to release the report on the initial recount of ballots covered by the poll protest so the camps of Robredo and Marcos can comment on it.
