In an interview after the panel’s meeting to discuss Teves’ case and other issues, Espares said they have the power to inform Teves that his suspension would end on July 30.
Asked if he was referring to the possible expulsion of Teves, Espares said: “Yes, that is the most extreme … But it’s still the House members who will decide on our recommendations.” Teves is facing murder complaints for allegedly masterminding the killing of Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo. The complaints are still undergoing preliminary investigation and have not yet been filed in court.In both instances, the House panel recommended a 60-day suspension against Teves for disorderly behavior.
