SPEAKER Lord Allan Velasco on Sunday assured the nation that the canvassing of votes and proclamation of winners in the recently concluded presidential and vice presidential elections will be “expeditious, transparent and credible.”
The House chief also said that the vote canvassing will proceed despite a pending disqualification case against presidential candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. before the Supreme Court. Each contingent will have seven regular members and four alternate members. The Speaker and the Senate President shall designate the chairperson of each panel.
Once the canvassing is completed, the joint committee report shall be approved and signed by a majority of the members of the Joint Committee. This, as the only recourse against former Senator Marcos Jr.—in the event he is disqualified by the Supreme Court after Congress has proclaimed him—is to run to the Presidential Electoral Tribunal , said Minority Leader Franklin Drilon.
