LP bares NP’s plan to disqualify Aquino using fake psych report

By Maila Ager – INQUIRER.net

MANILA, Philippines – The Nacionalista Party (NP) of Senator Manny Villar has allegedly planned to use the fake psychiatric report on Senator Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aquino III to file a disqualification case against him, Aquino’s camp revealed on Monday.

“We got from a very reliable source within NP, who said that the release of the fake psychiatric records would be used to file a disqualification case against Senator Noynoy Aquino,” Liberal Party (LP) senatorial candidate and Akbayan Representative Risa Hontiveros said in a statement.

But Hontiveros pointed out that the NP’s insistence that the report was true was clearly meant to condition the mind of the people to justify the disqualification case against the LP standard-bearer.

“It’s Goebbels-speak at its worst, using fake documents to condition the mind of the public. The signatures were forged, and yet the NP camp insists that the content of the documents is true despite the fake signatures. So what’s their agenda?” she asked

Hontiveros said the NP disowned the document but repeatedly challenged Aquino to undergo psychiatric test.

“Why dignify a lie? It would be condoning a despicable behavior,” she said of the NP’s challenge.
