Trusted friend calls PNoy ‘a liar’

ALTHOUGH resigned Philippine National Police (PNP) Director General Alan Purisima may not have said it directly, he essentially called his boss as a liar by disputing PNoy’s declaration before House leaders that the ex-PNP chief fed Aquino “lies” on the day of the Mamasapano operation.

We recall that during the four-hour meeting with lawmakers in Malacañang last Tuesday, PNoy said that he had given specific instructions to Napeñas on the need for coordination with the AFP and for Purisima to inform PNP OIC Deputy Director General Leonardo Espina. PNoy says he found out later that his instructions had not been followed.
