Imaginary and a delaying tactic.This was how the Department of Justice described Wednesday the statements written by former Negros Oriental Representative Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves Jr. in the letters he sent to human rights organizations and Pope Francis asking for intervention.In a statement, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla urged Teves and his legal counsel, Atty, Ferdinand Topacio, to avoid baseless pronouncements which malign the integrity of the country's justice system.
