Did Negros Oriental 3rd district Rep. Arnolfo 'Arnie' Teves Jr. inadvertently give himself a bigger headache with his failed asylum bid in Timor-Leste? ManilaBulletin
By the looks of it, Negros Oriental 3rd district Rep. Arnolfo "Arnie" Teves Jr. would have been able to stay in Timor-Leste for up to 30 days on a tourist visa had he played it more low-key and not asked the government there for political asylum.Did Negros Oriental 3rd district Rep.

In an interview on Wednesday night, May 10, Romualdez talked about finally knowing the suspended solon's whereabouts as well as the consequence of the latter having his asylum request junked by the government of Timor-Leste. What Romualdez meant was, when Timor-Leste denied Teves' request for asylum, the Negros Oriental solon was also given five days to leave the country.
"He has a tourist visa that he could have used for 30 days but he shortened the period by filing for political asylum, which was denied and now he has only five days rather than exhausting that 30-day period for the tourist visa," he said.The Leyte 1st district congressman noted that there's no extradition treaty between the Philippines and Timor-Leste. Timor-Leste is an ASEAN observer-country, while the Philippines is a founding member of the regional bloc.
