LP senatorial bet and Akbayan Rep. Risa Hontiveros revealed today that the fake psychiatric report is meant to condition the public for the filing of a disqualification case against Sen. Noynoy Aquino.
"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 Sen. Noynoy Aquino," revealed Hontiveros.
"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," Rep. Hontiveros said. "So what's their agenda?"
"The mental health issue did not gain traction, so they now want to use the documents to file a disqualification case. Desperate men resort to desperate and foolish measures," Rep. Hontiveros said.
She said that nothing would come out of the disqualification case. "It won't fly since the documents are fake. There's no basis for disqualification. It will purely be a harassment case, a last ditch effort to prevent a landslide victory," added Hontiveros.
What the filing hopes to achieve, according to the solon, is to cast a doubt on the capacity of Sen. Aquino. "Their mudslinging failed. Their claim that Sen. Aquino is incompetent did not latch. Their game plan now is to file a baseless disqualification case against Sen. Aquino a few days before the election to make the documents appear valid and legitimate."
She said that the conditioning began when Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano labeled the LP team 'TOPAK'. "It began with the TOPAK label, which was shortly followed by the release of the first fake psychiatric report. The NP disowned the document but repeatedly challenged Sen. Aquino to undergo psychiatric test," said Hontiveros.
Rep. Hontiveros questioned the motive of the challenge. "Why dignify a lie? It would be condoning a despicable behavior," she stressed.
Rep. Hontiveros slammed the plan, calling it 'Gloria-like'.
"It is no different from GMA's 'Hello Garci'. For NP, it's victory above everything, victory above truth," she said.
"What's saddening is that it means they have not learned anything from the GMA administration. We have wasted almost a decade under a regime that built itself on lies and fraud," she said. "If they are the true opposition, then how come they are adopting the same strategy that GMA and her people used to win the 2004 polls?"
