The much-publicized filing of criminal charges against suspended Negros Oriental 3rd District Rep. Arnolfo “Arnie” A. Teves in the March 4 killings of Gov. Roel R. Degamo and nine other persons did not push through on Monday, May 15. | ManilaBulletin
Instead, during a press briefing, Remulla said the charges against Teves will be filed “most probably on Wednesday,” May 17, before the Department of Justice by the National Bureau of Investigation .
He said that before the appearance of the private lawyers, whose names he did not disclose, there were six persons who surrendered to the military for their alleged involvement in the killings. “Obviously, some people are interested in the statements they want to give and now they don’t want to cooperate anymore,” he also said.
