In a move meant to 'protect the image of the House', the Committee on Ethics and Privileges called for a hearing Wednesday morning, March 15 on the continued absence of Negros Oriental 3rd district Rep. Arnolfo 'Arnie' Teves Jr.
The House Committee on Ethics and Privileges schedules a hearing on whether or not to punish Negros Oriental 3rd district Rep. Arnolfo "Arnie" Teves Jr. .
The Espares panel was slated to discuss Committee Resolution No. 1, titled, "Urging the Committee on Ethics and Privileges to assume jurisdiction, motu proprio, to conduct investigation on the case of Rep. Arnolfo ‘Arnie’ A. Teves Jr. relative to his absence without leave in the House of Representatives and without appropriate travel authority".
Teves, who left for the Unites States last Feb. 28, was supposed be back in the Philippines last March 9 as per the travel clearance or travel authority that the House issued him. Asked why the hearing was scheduled on short notice, Espares said, "Of course alam naman natin na mainit ang isyu so at least we will really ensure na may nagawa rin yung ating institution ."
