The insurmountable lead of Ferdinand Marcos Jr. over his closest political opponent, Vice President Leni Robredo makes his trip back to the helm of power like a bed of roses.  However, there could be a pesky thorn that could make Marcos' impending proclamation  painful to swallow.   This are the twin petitions for the annulment of his certificate of candidacy and  disqualification which were recently lodged in the Supreme Court.   The highest court of the land which acts as the "last bulwark of democracy" would have the last say on the issues brought before it.

If the Supreme Court rules to cancel the certificate of candidacy of Marcos Junior, the second leading presidential candidate, Leni Robredo may have a legitimate crack at the Presidency.
