“(Maybe) at the end of the day, the truth will set us all free,” Aquino told reporters during an event where he addressed at least 500 members of the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) at the SMX Center in SM Lanang Premier.
Aquino, who said that he has nothing else to say about the ongoing senate inquiry, apparently, does not want to get himself involved in the investigation.
He also said that he does not have any personal knowledge about the accusations against Binay adding that he is only relying on information coming from the media.
“Do I have knowledge as to the veracity of the accusation against the Vice President? I do not have personal knowledge,” Aquino said.
“I am primarily relying on the information that are reported in the papers,” he added.
“I have nothing to add, at this point, as to the truth or falsehood of the accusations against the Vice President.”
