Marquez was outbidded. But despite the golf games and the approaches through his son and close friend, Narvasa voted against Rodriguez, a fact which the governor resents, those close to him say. Marquez is bitter as well. Although the chief justice voted in his favor, Marquez claimed that Narvasa actually supported his opponent by delaying the release of the decision until there was a majority vote for the governor. That is their culture.
Nobody loses sleep over it.
