Pamplona Mayor Janice Degamo on Tuesday alleged that suspended Negros Oriental Representative Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves Jr. and his brother, Pryde Henry, are sourcing their money from illegal online cockfighting and Small Town Lottery (STL) operations.
Pamplona Mayor Janice Degamo on Tuesday alleged that suspended Negros Oriental Representative Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves Jr. and his brother, Pryde Henry, are sourcing their money from illegal online cockfighting and Small Town Lottery operations.
Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, the committee's chairman, asked Degamo to clarify her statement, pointing out that during the 18th Congress, the same committee had recommended to stop e-sabong operations due to the cases of missing cockfighting enthusiasts. “It is public knowledge in Negros Oriental that the money of the Teveses comes from the e-sabong, STL,” she added when asked who are responsible behind the e-sabong operations.
Degamo’s allegations were also backed by Siaton Mayor Fritz Diaz, who said the Teves family are using gambling money to wield influence. Diaz showed several photos and videos where individuals wearing PNP uniform are serenading and performing before Arnie Teves for his birthday. “Kung may biglang yumaman ako in the last 15 years, then you will suspect na I’m into something that is illegal. But I can assure you, I already gave my waiver to the DOJ and they are checking my accounts in and out in the last 15 years…I can assure you none of that came from illegal activities.”
