Romualdez: We respect Teves’ rights, but he still didn’t come home despite assurances

House Speaker Martin Romualdez has assured Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr. that they are fully aware of his rights, but his refusal to report physically to work prompted a panel to already come up with a decision about his continued absence. | GabrielLaluINQ

“Kinikilala at nirerespeto po natin ang lahat ng karapatan ni Cong. Arnie bilang House Member. Kaya naman binigyan natin siya ng pagkakataon para umuwi at linawin ang lahat ng isyung kinakaharap niya ngayon,” the Speaker said.

“I commend the Chairman and the committee members for acting expeditiously on the case, in consonance with the Committee’s mandate and in compliance with the Rules of the House to punish its Members for disorderly behavior,” he said.
