Former Senator Ferdinand "Bong Bong" Marcos Jr. wants Justice Benjamin Caguioa out of the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET), saying the magistrate has been unfair and unjust in his electoral protest against Vice President Leni Robredo.

"It's become very obvious that the strategy has been to delay, delay, and delay. Mukhang hindi na fair ang treatment sakin sa PET," Marcos said in a press conference.

"There has been a disturbing series of decisions made by Justice (Benjamin) Caguioa that were clearly unfair and unjust," he said.

Marcos said his camp was asked to pay a P36-million recount fee on a Good Friday when most banks were closed for the Holy Week, while Robredo was only asked to pay P7 million.

"Nung hindi siya nakapagbayad on time, dinefer. Nung hindi nakapagbayad ulit, dinefer ulit," Marcos said.

The former senator said the PET also deferred hearing his electoral protest even after his camp managed to produce "8,000 witnesses in 5 days."

"The same rules don't seem to apply to the other side... Kapag may motion galing sa kabila, dinidinig agad ng 2 or 3 araw. Kapag ako, magdadalawang taon na, hindi pa rin sinisimulan ang recount," he said.

Marcos said he is still unsure how he would seek for the ouster of Caguioa from the electoral tribunal, but said that he is already looking at several options.

The Supreme Court refused to comment on Marcos' statement.

"Same as before, we don't comment on political statements," Supreme Court spokesman Theodore Te said in a statement.

The son of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos lost to Robredo by just 263,473 votes, making the 2016 vice-presidential contest the tightest vice-presidential race in recent history.
