Roque to media: You don't twist a candidate's statement

SENATE candidate Harry Roque Jr. has called on some media organizations to exhibit honesty and fairness, and stop twisting statements of candidates who are running in the May 9 national elections.

Roque, a former spokesman for President Rodrigo Duterte, made the call as he cried foul over what he called "erroneous reporting" of CNN Philippines and Interaksyon, which quoted him as saying there were no human rights abuses during the regime of the late president Ferdinand Marcos Sr. during a recent senatorial debate hosted by SMNI.
