The Anti-Terrorism Council (ATC) has designated suspended Negros Oriental Representative Arnolfo 'Arnie' Teves Jr. and 12 others as terrorists, citing several alleged killings and harassment in Negros Oriental.
The Council said their violations include committing terrorism; planning, training, preparing and facilitating the commission of terrorism; recruitment to and membership in a terrorist organization; and providing material support to terrorists.
“Prior to the assassination of Gov. Degamo, numerous politically and economically motivated killings were attributed to Cong. Teves, Jr. and his armed group of followers/supporters,” the ATC said. For the ATC, the numerous killings and harassments in Negros Oriental which culminated in the assassination of Degamo should not be considered as isolated and random incidents of violence.
