PNoy says people shouldn’t believe Napoles right away

So, now, he’s saying this?

“In the sidelines of the 116th anniversary celebration of the Philippine Navy at a naval station in Ulugan Bay, Palawan, President Aquino answered questions about the issue involving businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles, who has provided different versions of the so-called pork scam list,” reports Genalyn Kabiling in Tempo.

The report noted that “Aquino admitted that he was puzzled that the public appears to instantly believe the list of politicians implicated by Napoles.”

The President was then quoted as saying, “Dati parang kinamumuhian si Mrs. Napoles. Ngayon, ‘pag nagsalita siya para bang totoong-totoo ang sinasabi. Paano kaya nangyari iyon (In the past, people hated Mrs. Napoles. Now, when she speaks, it’s like what she says is taken as gospel truth. How did that happen)?”
