EXPELLED Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr. has lost his father and namesake who passed away on Tuesday, lawyer Ferdinand Topacio disclosed on
Thursday.“The most painful blow for Rep. Teves is the fact that he was overseas and could not return home to hug and pay his last respects and farewell to his father who passed away, due to the baseless and relentless persecution and pressure of the current government, solely for political and selfish interests,” said Topacio.
The only hope that Teves had in the midst of his grief was the oath he had sworn to his father while he was lying on his sickbed, that he would clear the name Teves that he carried as his father’s name, according to Topacio.
