No extension for Teves; Degamo laid to rest READ MORE:
Policemen bear the casket of slain Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo toward the family mausoleum in Bonawon, Siaton, as supporters, relatives, and close allies of the governor shout for justice for his assassination last March 4.This was as Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo, who was gunned down along with eight others at his home by heavily-armed men who claimed a certain “Cong Teves” was the mastermind of the brazen assassination, was laid to rest yesterday in his hometown of Siaton.
The Negros solon’s legal counsel, Ferdinand Topacio, requested a private meeting with the Speaker Wednesday night.“In that meeting, I reiterated my stand that Cong. Arnie should return to the country and report for work at once,” Romualdez told reporters yesterday.It does not sit well for a House Member to flee the country rather than avail himself of all the legal remedies available to him,” he said.
“The Committee on Ethics has already acquired jurisdiction on Cong.Arnie’s case. I will act accordingly after the Committee wraps up its investigation and submits its recommendation to the House leadership,” Romualdez said. Teves is also facing three murder charges for his alleged involvement in the killing of Negros Oriental Board Member Miguel Dungog and two others in 2019.
Relatives, friends, local officials, and supporters attended the funeral mass for Degamo at St. Vincent Ferrer Parish in Barangay Bonawon.Degamo was talking to beneficiaries of the government’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program at his residence in Pamplona, Negros Oriental, on the morning of Saturday, March 4 when armed men barged in and fired shots.
