The House Committee on Ethics and Privileges on Monday recommended stiffer disciplinary action against suspended Negros Oriental 3rd District Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr.
“We cannot divulge the committee’s action during the executive meeting that we conducted. [But] for your information after our meeting, again we would like to announce with you right now that the committee on ethics and privilege unanimously decided to recommend to the plenary the imposition of a stiffer disciplinary action against our colleague Cong. Teves for violation of the Rules of the House of Representatives, particularly Rule 26 on the Code of Conduct and Disorderly Behavior,” he said.
For his part, House ethics panel Vice Chairman Jil Bongalon said, “We’re not saying that expulsion will be recommended by the committee. This is just entirely [a] different [matter] because it started with an expired travel clearance, and the controversy that he [Rep. Teves] is facing.” But the committee said the maximum allowed days for a suspension to a lawmaker is limited to 60 days.“We really need to come up with a decision coming from members. We exhausted our discussions on this because this is not an easy decision for the committee. We need to ensure appropriate protection of our colleagues in the House,” Espares added.
