Malacañang on Tuesday welcomed the decision of the camp of Vice President Leni Robredo to acknowledge the decision of the majority in the recently concluded May 9 elections after raising no objections to all certificates of canvass in Congress.
In a statement, acting presidential spokesman Martian Andanar called the move of Robredo's camp as a
"positive development."
"The decision of the camp of Vice President Ma. Leonor ‘Leni’ Robredo to expedite the canvassing of votes for President is a positive development,” Andanar said.
“As we earlier articulated, let us respect the outcome of the election and give chance to the winning candidates to fulfill their campaign platform,” he added.
In a manifestation on Tuesday, Robredo's counsel Romulo Macalintal echoed the previous pronouncements made by the Vice President that the majority vote should be respected.
"[We] interpose no objection to the inclusion [o]f all the certificates of canvass for president from the various provincial and city boards of canvassers found by this honorable board to be authentic and duly executed,” Macalintal said.
The lawyer also added that Robredo's camp also waived their appearance before the joint canvassing committee to expedite the canvassing proceedings.
