Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano will not personally testify on the issue of media giant ABS-CBN’s alleged “political bias,” particularly on the airing of advertisements of candidates in the 2016 national elections. | NAMercadoINQ

“However, if I do not hear, I promised the whole Filipino nation that we will have not only transparent and open, but fair hearings. So, I don’t want to sway members of Congress one way or the other,” the lawmaker added.

“It will be on record but I would rather it not be adversarial at this moment, dahil maaaring last hearing ngayon, ‘no, pero napakaraming magpalista,” Cayetano said. “Inuulit ko po ha: lahat po ng pulitiko, sasabihin biased ang media pagka binira niyo, hindi ‘yun ang pinag-uusapan ngayong araw na ‘to, at kung mapag-usapan ‘yun, e kailangan linawin that press freedom and freedom of speech ay isang haligi ng democracy,” Cayetano said.
