Noynoy sister cries foul on nasty accusations, black propaganda
TACLOBAN CITY – The sister of Sen. Noynoy Aquino III cried foul over some nasty accusations and alleged black propagandas that are pouring over the latter’s presidential candidacy this upcoming May 10, 2010 elections.
“They are hitting Noynoy very hard,” Pinky Aquino-Abellada told Leyte-Samar Daily Express during a forum organized by the Mabuting Pilipino Program in the city.
Abellada, a daughter of former president Cory Aquino and slain senator Benigno Aquino, defended that Sen. Noynoy Aquino has no involvement over the alleged SCTEx controversy claiming that “he is a good and honest man that the Aquino family has ever produced.”
“They cannot destroy the good image of my brother because he is a clean and honest man with integrity in the Aquino family,” Abellada disclosed.
“He is just living in an ordinary room in our house with simple lifestyle. And to those who are throwing these allegations show us your house so that we will see the richness that you’ve all been hiding to the Filipino people,” she added with a challenge to the presidential rivals of his brother.
The SCTEx controversy allegedly involves the Liberal Party’s presidential frontrunner that he had his share of blessings from the P33-billion Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), having been gifted with a P170-million private road interchange built exclusively for Hacienda Luisita Inc. (HLI), on top of the P80 million paid to HLI as remuneration for the 83 hectares of HLI-owned land used for the road project.
Abellada has denied her brother’s role in the controversy, stressing that allegations linking him to the SCTEx controversy were “politically-motivated.
Moreover, Abellada stroked back on the personal attacks of some of Sen. Noynoy’s political opponents that his brother is an ‘abnormal candidate’ and should back off in the presidential race as the country needs not a President that is mentally incapacitated if ever he wins.
“I cannot deny that truth that my brother is abnormal in a sense that he is different from the other candidates in terms of good principles and views in the world of politics,” she stressed.
She said that these dirty tricks are unfair and claimed that the rivals of Sen. Aquino are too desperate resorting to means that are unacceptable and making ways to put down his brother in the presidential race on May 10. (ALVIN P. CARDINES)
