The House Committee on Ethics and Privileges on Wednesday conducted a motu proprio investigation into the absence without official leave and appropriate travel authority of Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr.
Panel chairman Rep. Felimon Espares, in an executive session, will determine if Teves violated any rule of the House of Representatives.
“[This is] not necessarily a marching order [from the Speaker] but then it’s just a discussion and that’s why we called this meeting for the members to take whatever possible action we could make to protect the institution,” Espares explained. With this, Speaker Martin Romualdez appealed to Teves to report for work as soon as possible as his stay outside the country is no longer authorized by the House of Representatives.
Romualdez also assured Teves that as the political and administrative leader of the House, he would exert all efforts to ensure the personal safety of all members.
