Representatives Antonio Cuenco of Cebu City and Douglas Cagas of Davao del Sur said the statements of Biazon, a retired Armed Forces chief, are making him appear like the rebels’ acting "spokesman."
Cuenco asked Biazon to "stop speculating on a coup attempt and instead cooperate with the AFP on information he gathers."
"He should be the one to exercise caution," he said.
