In a statement, Robredo said it is "disturbing" that the Marcos camp continues to make new allegations of electoral fraud.
"We respect his right to freedom of speech. But it is disturbing that each week, they issue statements to condition the public's minds on the results of the recently concluded elections," Robredo said Saturday,
Senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. said Saturday that he would file a protest to contest Robredo's narrow victory by the end of June.
He said he has gathered evidence of fraud both from witnesses and "experts" who supposedly spotted irregularities in the automated elections system.
"Talagang maliwanag na maliwanag sa taumbayan na napakalawak at napakawalanghiya ang pangbabastos at pangwawalanghiya sa boses ng taumbayan," Marcos told reporters.
"Iisa lang pwede gumawa niyan, administration. We have to lay that at the door of the administration," he said.
he senator earlier questioned the "undervote" of at least 3.2 million people and cited instances of zero vote for him in some poll precincts.
He has also cast doubts on the integrity of the AES after a Smartmatic official made an unauthorized alteration on an election-related script on the eve of the May 9 elections.
The Marcos family had targeted the vice presidential post as a route back to Malacanang through a subsequent presidential run for the son in 2022.
Marcos' six-year term in the Senate will end on June 30. His mother, flamboyant former first lady Imelda Marcos, and elder sister, Imee Marcos, were elected congresswoman and governor respectively of Ilocos Norte province, the family's bailiwick.
