, including multiple murder complaints over killings in 2019, and the illegal possession of firearms and explosives.When asked why an arrest warrant has yet to be issued against Teves, Remulla said that it is because of due process.
“We want to push the process, but we’re talking about human rights and due process, that is how the law works, we have to respect the due process of law, whether how slow it is,” Remulla explained. “Unless in hot pursuit, we cannot arrest a person, we have to give him the light of day in court, or in the preliminary investigation,” he added.
Before this, several lawmakers, the Philippine National Police, and Remulla had repeatedly urged Teves to return to the Philippines and face the allegations against him.Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez even pointed out that Teves’ authority to travel to the United States was only valid from February 28 to March 9.
