The Senate committee on public order and dangerous drugs has rejected the plea of suspended Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr. to only be present virtually in its probe into the brazen assassination of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo. |BPinlacINQ
He believes this should have a “persuasive effect in so far as the actions of the committee.”
With this in mind, Sen. Ronald dela Rosa, who presided over the hearing, said there is “unanimous agreement” not to allow the virtual presence of Teves. “The members of this committee unanimously agreed not to allow the virtual presence of Cong. Teves, but the doors are not completely shut down to Cong. Teves. If he wants to come here physically then, by all means, we will entertain. Lahat ng gusto niyang sabihin, pakikinggan namin ,” the senator said.Dela Rosa, however, bared his phone call with Teves on Sunday where the latter said that him being “under threat” is deterring him from returning to the country.
