Teves was suspended for 60 days, and the only more stringent penalty remaining is expulsion, unless the chamber comes up with sanctions not explicitly stated in its House rules.
MANILA, Philippines – The House ethics committee disclosed on Monday, May 29, that it has recommended a harsher sanction against embattled lawmaker Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves Jr., but it declined to say what that penalty is exactly.– a punishment that already lapsed on May 22 – and the only more stringent penalty based on the House rules is expulsion.
Sought for clarification on what could be a penalty harsher than suspension that is not necessarily expulsion, the ethics panel referred to its internal guidelines. “We are not at liberty to divulge, because we were not given the consent of the majority of members of the committee on ethics. Maybe we can just wait for another day or two days for you to know the recommendation,” he added.
