Unholy alliance or not, it is just bad luck on the part of defeated candidate Koko Pimentel that the Senate Electoral Tribunal (SET) — at least the majority — made up of both justices and senators — chose to uphold the petition of Sen. Migz Zubiri to have certain ballot boxes from specific precincts recounted — which naturally delays the protest of Pimentel. It could be called dirty play, but whoever said that politics is clean play? It was of course the dissenting opinion of Justice Antonio Carpio that made sense. It is clear, from the data culled, that indeed, Koko Pimentel’s revised ballot count would put him in the winning circle, but as there is still thing called the majority rule, no matter what Carpio says, it won’t carry much weight — until or unless the majority in the SET go along with him.
