Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla on Wednesday challenged the camp of former Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves, Jr. to stop resorting to all sorts of delaying tactics, and instead just face the murder charges filed against him before the Philippine courts.
The DOJ chief made the statement in response to a circulating letter allegedly coming from Teves seeking the intervention of the United Nations, Amnesty International, other human rights groups and even Pope Francis claiming that he is being politically persecuted and fears for his life. The DOJ reassured that the Philippine government has guaranteed Teves’ safety upon his return. He also urged both the expelled lawmaker and his legal team to provide concrete evidence his life was in danger.
