Senator Aquilino Pimentel III, the co-chair of the National Board of Canvassers, dismissed the issue of “undervotes” being raised by the camp of Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Earlier the lawyer of Marcos’ chief rival Leni Robredo, Romulo Macalintal, said undervoting is normal in any election and does not necessarily equate to electoral fraud. Marcos’ lawyer, George Garcia, however said they want an explanation for the 3.2 million votes for vice president that remain “unaccounted for”. Putting the undervotes on record can help the Marcos camp in “whatever legal remedy” they might seek later on, he added.
