Negros Oriental 3rd district Rep. Arnolfo "Arnie" Teves Jr. is claiming that some of his fellow House members were forced to uphold the 60-day suspension against him for "disorderly behavior" last March.
Teves, in a virtual press conference Thursday, May 25, recalled a phone conversation he had with House Committee on Ethics and Privileges Chairman and COOP-NATCCO Party-list Rep. Felimon Espares. House records show that March 22 nominal vote was unanimous in favor of upholding the two-month suspension that had been recommended by the ethics panel.
"Hindi ko lang pwede banggitin dito but there were a few congressmen na umangal doon sa committee. But in fact, napilitan lang sila bumoto pa rin. Pero syempre walang magawa yung tao eh kawawa naman di ba ," Teves said.
