Congressman Gasataya on a socmed post he calls ‘veiled threat’ to his life

February 10, 2025

Congressman Greg Gasataya of the Lone District of Bacolod denounced a black and white post on social media with his photo and the line “1970 – 2025” he called “a veiled threat” to his life.

Gasataya said: “Let me make this clear, threats, intimidation, and fear-mongering have no place in our community, and certainly not in our democracy. I despise these DESPERATE POLITICAL TACTICS and will not allow them to distract me from performing my duties with diligence and integrity in serving the City of Bacolod.”

Here’s the statement of Cong. Gasataya:

It has come to my attention that an anonymous post has been circulated on Facebook, which appears to be a veiled threat to my life. I take such actions seriously—not only as a public servant but also as someone who values life and the well-being of my family and loved ones.

Let me make this clear: threats, intimidation, and fear-mongering have no place in our community, and certainly not in our democracy. I despise these DESPERATE POLITICAL TACTICS and will not allow them to distract me from performing my duties with diligence and integrity in serving the City of Bacolod.

We will never tolerate violence, whether physical, verbal, or psychological.

I take it by heart the commitment we made when we filed our candidacy at the Comelec for an elections free of violence.

I appeal to everyone to remain vigilant and to speak out against any form of threat or intimidation. Let us not allow these despicable acts and behaviors disrupt the peace we worked so hard to achieve and maintain.

Madamo guid nga Salamat sa tanan nga nagpalab-ot sang concern kag ang inyo pagpalangga.

Padayon ang pagbag-o.

MEANWHILE, following the coordination made by Cong. Gasataya, Bacolod Police Chief, P/Col. Joeresty Coronica said investigations are on, with the Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit, to identity the person who posted it on Facebook.*
