The House Committee on Ethics and Privileges refused to hear the side of Negros Oriental 3rd district Rep. Arnolfo 'Arnie' Teves Jr. on Monday afternoon, March 20 when the panel resumed proceedings on the embattled solon's expired travel clearance.
"Kung hindi siya makapag-appear personally in our committee, so the committee will really have its decision, the appropriate sanctions," he said.Should Teves appear within these 24 hours, then the committee would no longer have to sanction him, he said.
"Hindi allowed ang virtual [attendance] . We need his physical appearance. Meaning we need him to report here in the House," Espares said. Wednesday, March 22, is the House's final session date. The lawmakers would then go on a six-week summer break. Teves, whose travel clearance expired last March 9, is being tagged in the killing of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo. Degamo was gunned down outside his home last March 4.The Espares committee wrote a letter to Teves last week asking him to explain his continued absence.
