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.

"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," she said.

Aquino, frontrunner in the surveys, is the LP?s standard-bearer for the upcoming elections.

What the filing hopes to achieve, Hontiveros said, is to cast a doubt on Aquino?s capacity.

"Their mudslinging failed. Their claim that Senator Aquino is incompetent did not latch. Their game plan now is to file a baseless disqualification case against Senator Aquino a few days before the election to make the documents appear valid and legitimate,? she further said.

But NP spokesman and senatorial bet Adel Tamano, quickly denied any such plan by the group to file a disqualification case against Aquino using the fake documents.

Tamano admitted, however, that there were some people, not from the NP, who suggested the filing of the case when the first psychiatric report came out.

?There were some people suggesting, not NP, that maybe we should we should file a disqualification case. But I said no,? he said in a phone interview.

?Parang (It?s like), for us to even dignify it (the fake psychiatric report), or make any statement in favor of that report is just really a waste of time, a distraction,? he said.

In fact, Tamano said he even got mad when the issue of filing a case against Aquino was brought up.

?Nagalit ako. E fake nga. (I got mad. It?s fake.) My exact words were: ?Who will be stupid enough to file a disqualification case based on a fake document??? said Tamano, who is also a lawyer.

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

She said the conditioning began when Senator Alan Peter Cayetano labeled the LP team 'TOPAK' or trapo (traditional politics), Opportunista, at Kamag-Anak Inc., followed by the release of the first fake psychiatric report.

Villar?s camp denied that it was the source of the document but a self-confessed supporter of the senator came out in public to present to the media a second psychiatric report, which also turned out fake.

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.

She was confident, however, that nothing would come out of the disqualification case if anyone would file it against Aquino.

"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," she further said.
