Straightening Lies

I came across a "comparative data of presidentiables" circulating in a Law School E-Group. The sender have a waiver saying "this e-mail message (including attachments, if any) is intended for the use of the individual or the entity to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, proprietary, confidential and exempt from disclosure. If you are not the intended recipient, you are notified that any dissemination, distribution or copying of this communication is strictly prohibited" but it is publicly searchable. 

I like to point out some erroneous information contained in the e-mail which is obviously anti-Noynoy Aquino since it takes a competency angle. What I object to is that the sender didn't even get the facts right. For example in LEGISLATIVE PERFORMANCE, the sender said that Aquino did NOT file any bill when in fact, according to Noynoy. ph, Noynoy filed more than twenty bills in the years he tenured in the Legislature. (SEE: Wala ba talagang nagawa si Noynoy sa lehislatura?) 

Contrary to criticism that he has a lackluster legislative achievement, (see previous entry on his legislative record: "Wala ba talagang nagawa si Noynoy sa lehislatura?"), Senator Aquino has been consistent in standing up for the rights of ordinary Filipinos and representing the nation’s interests in the House of Representatives and later in the Senate. (SEE: Maliban sa paggawa ng batas, ano pa ang mga responsibilidad ni Noynoy bilang kongresista at senador?)

For a complete list of the bills and RESOLUTIONS Aquino authored during his nine year in Congress, go to:  HOUSE BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS.

Best Security Agency  is not family owned, even though Noynoy Aquino was one of its orginal incorporator  along with his uncle Antolin Oreta Jr. He divested after his mother assumed office.
