Cagayan de Oro City 1st district Rep. Lordan Suan has denied endorsing a "shoot-to-kill" initiative against his fellow Mindanaoan, Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa.
Suan, chairman of the House Committee on Public Information, emphatically disavowed any social media statement or post that linked him to such action.
"It has come to my attention that several social media pages are amplifying a false and malicious statement falsely attributed to me," Suan said on Monday, Nov. 2.
"I categorically deny having made any statement warning that I would convene a House committee hearing or file a so-called 'shoot-to-kill' resolution if Senator Ronald 'Bato' dela Rosa fails to surrender in connection with matters involving an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant," he said.
Suan stressed: "I have never issued such a warning, [or] have I advocated, threatened, or contemplated any such action."
