The lead of Philippines’ Vice President Leni Robredo over Ferdinand Marcos Jr. widened in the results of the protest recount in three provinces chosen by the late dictator’s son, according to the electoral tribunal.
Robredo’s votes in the 2016 elections in the provinces of Camarines Sur, Iloilo and Negros Oriental which Marcos said were where the most number of fraud were committed increased to 278,566 from the original tally of 263,473, the electoral tribunal said in a statement late Friday.
