NP denies releasing Aquino's fake psych report

[jazstampede]

MANILA, Philippines - The Nacionalista Party (NP) denied Friday that it was the source of a fake psychiatric evaluation report of Liberal Party (LP) presidential candidate Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III.

In a statement, NP executive director Maria Victoria Loanzon said "The Nacionalista Party vehemently denies being the source of an alleged psychological report of Sen. Noynoy Aquino."

She reiterated that the NP does not advocate black propaganda and that the party believes "far more important issues that need to be attended to than resorting to black propaganda."

A "document" with the header of the Ateneo de Manila University’s (ADMU) Department of Psychology surfaced on social media networks on Thursday. It said Aquino underwent a psychiatric evaluation in 1996, when he was about 36 years old. (Click here to read the alleged Psychiatric Evaluation Form of Sen. Benigno Aquino III)

The fake document, supposedly signed by Fr. Carmelo "Tito" Caluag, was an assessment of how Aquino was suffering from major depressive disorder due to work-related issues and after separation from his flight attendant girlfriend.

ADMU’s psychology department has declared that the report is false since it has never conducted a psychiatric assessment on Aquino. Caluag has also stressed that he is not competent to make any kind of psychological assessment since he is an educator by training and a priest by vocation.

The LP has alleged that the report came from the NP camp.

I believe you are right. I am not just sure if Butch Abad is really the culprit but I think these are all the work of PR dirty tricks. I personally hear Mr Lito Banayo in one gathering in Bohol. He shared some PR tricks. I see some of his work in Liberal camp. We can expect more dirty tricks.

we should not allow this. Being the 'bida' sa election, we should let them know that we dont like this level of campaign.

The more I listen to Noynoy, the more I believe that the psych report is FAKE because it seems there is REAL psych report. I suspect the minds of some presidential candidates are not acceptable. LOL
