THERE are no Aquino psychological records.

Thus declared Malacañang as it taunted Chief Justice Renato Corona’s dare to President Benigno Aquino III to reveal his psychological records along with his Statement of Assets, Liablities and Net Worth (SALN).

Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte insisted that the supposed records on Aquino’s alleged mental health do not exist.

“Alam ninyo, hindi ito bumenta noong 2010 at di yan bebenta ngayon... Kahit kumakandidato ang Senator Aquino sa pagkapangulo walang naniwala riyan, walang maniniwala ngayon,” Valte said, brushing  aside Corona’s challenge.

“Matagal nang nasagot iyan, nilako ang istorya, walang bumili.” she said.

Valte said that Aquino cannot be stopped from speaking on the impeachment case.

“What you have to understand about the president, he is a very frank person; he will not hesitate to simplify issues when he feels one side is already doing legal cartwheels to [twist] and confuse the evidence already coming out,” she said.

Last Friday, Corona dared Aquino to make public his SALN and psychological records, a day after Aquino challenged Corona to disclose his dollar accounts for public scrutiny.

The impeached chief justice also said Aquino should not meddle in the Senate impeachment trial, and scolded him for supposedly telling college students to make a judgment without getting all the facts of the case.

As for the SALN, Valte said Aquino allows his SALN to be made public every year.

“Nagre-release kami ng SALN, baka hindi nakikita pero na-print yan sa diyaryo, pinag-uusapan sa radio, napapanood sa TV. Hindi ko alam anong dare-dare na ilabas ang SALN,” she said.

Valte also downplayed a reported assessment by economist Solita Monsod that Aquino’s SALN may be full of holes.

Monsod may have been referring to the value of the property of Aquino at Times Street in Quezon City.

Valte said that when Aquino’s father Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. died in 1983, the property was shared among his then widow Corazon and their children.

When Mrs. Aquino died in 2009, the children’s share grew, but in 2010, Valte said Aquino’s siblings waived their shares in favor of the incumbent president.

“Ngayon siya ang may-ari ng buong property. Una maliit valuation dahil yan ang valuation ng share niya, so walang under-declaration diyan (Now the president is the owner of the entire property. Before, the valuation was small because he had a smaller share),” Valte said.

Valte further argued that Corona’s challenge for  Aquino to disclose his psychological records was an “insult” to everyone, including the media, since there are no such records.

She said that while supposed records surfaced during the 2010 presidential campaign, those whose “signatures” appeared on the records disowned them.

“There are none, puro fake ang inankla ng istorya nila ,” she said.

Valte said it is not the fault of prosecutors from the House of Representatives that Aquino came out to talk about the issue.

“The President felt the issue was being sidetracked, and we needed to get back to the real issue,” she said.

When told that critics had questioned Aquino for touching on the merits of the case, Valte said everyone should talk about the merits of the case.
