UNDOCKETED (GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO, Contestant, versus FREDDIE N. WEBB, Respondent)

 

Election Protest: On 24 June 1992, following the conclusion of the 11 May 1992 elections, Bernardino R. Abes, counsel for Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, filed a “Motion for Extension of Time to File Election Contest”, alleging that: (a) The Contestant has taken the necessary steps for filing an election contest pursuant to the Rules of the Tribunal currently in effect; and (b) That owing to the delay in the Contestant’s arrival from abroad for reasons beyond her control, counsel needs an extension of time for filing an election contest.

The motion was granted by the Tribunal in its Resolution promulgated on 25 June 1992.

Status: The case was withdrawn per Manifestation filed by counsel for Macapagal-Arroyo dated 01 July 1992, stating that his client reconsidered her earlier decision and was not therefore filing an election contest against Freddie N. Webb.
