In his statement the other day, Aquino was quoted saying that the NDRRMC had been relatively slow in its body count as it had to make sure of its data before releasing any figure of the dead. The belief is that Aquino had ordered the NDRRMC director to bring down the death count, as Aquino had publicly estimated the death toll at 2,000 only. “It’s because you have to make sure that there is the certification or a coroner’s report before it is made official,” Aquino said in reference to the supposed body-count procedure. However, Fortun rebutted him in her twitter account, saying Aquino obviously does not know what he is talking about. “Certification of a coroner’s report is needed before a body is counted?” Fortun said. “Do you know Mr. President that we don’t have coroners in the Philippines?” She pointed out. When a follower in her account told her that it could have been what Aquino’s advisers told him, Fortun retorted: “Shhh! His advisers also don’t know that.”
