They are now under the custody of the National Bureau of Investigation pending the result of the preliminary investigation on the murder charges and other criminal charges filed against them before the DOJ.
“That person was involved not only in the last assassination attempt that succeeded, but in two other failed assassination attempts on Governor Degamo,” Remulla told CNN Philippines in an interview.

“In the meantime, I hope they avoid all appearances of prejudgment, prejudice and partiality ,” he added.Pamplona, Negros Oriental Mayor Janice Degamo is asking the House of Representatives to expel suspended Negros Oriental Rep. Teves Jr.
