Justice Secretary Crispin 'Boying' Remulla makes a reference to 'rendition,' saying that once the Philippines tags Teves a terrorist, UN member states have a duty to arrest and turn him over to the Philippines.
MANILA, Philippines – Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla on Wednesday, April 27 said the Anti-Terrorism Council has started the process of designating as a terrorist suspended Negros Oriental 3rd District Representative Arnie Teves.
The designation of Teves falls under his alleged masterminding of the March 4 Pamplona attack that killed then-Negros Oriental governor Roel Degamo and eight others. “If the person with the rank of governor can get killed in his own home, because of forces like this, then who will not be terrorized by such an action?” he added.na kung kaya nilang patayin ang isang nakupong gobernador sa loob ng tahanan nya mismo, ano pa kaya ang taong ordinaryoExpressing confidence that the Anti-Terror Council would uphold him, and the government would overcome legal challenges, the Justice Secretary also made a reference to “rendition”.
The Philippines and many allied states have extradition agreements. But these come under a different law with complex processes to ensure protection of the rights of foreign detainees and fugitive Filipinos hiding abroad.Remulla said he was able to answer questions raised during the council meeting. Remulla said at least three other members of what he called the “Teves Criminal Group or Teves Criminal Organization” would also come under the process of designation.
