STATEMENT OF PARTIDO LIBERAL ON CHARGES FILED VS FORMER PRESIDENT AQUINO

It is unthinkable for then President Benigno Aquino III to make a decision that would endanger the lives of our policemen and soldiers, or parade them helpless in the firing line. No President, or any father of the nation, would do that.

We maintain that President Aquino, after thorough consultation with officials, only did what he deemed best and right under the situation.

He did not commit any criminal act or violated any laws or the Constitution.

He will clear his name in court and prove he is innocent of the charges. We believe the court will afford him due process and fair trial.
