“Why is his passport not yet canceled?” Enrile asked in his weekly television program, noting that Teves has repeatedly refused to face the charges against him and has even been suspended from the House of Representatives for his continued absence.Instead, Teves, who claims to be in Timor Leste, has been posting videos on social media, arguing his case against accusations that he was the mastermind in the killing of Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo and nine others.
On Thursday, the lawyers asked state prosecutors to inhibit themselves from preliminary proceedings on the Degamo assassination and transfer the case to the Ombudsman.
