A total of 292 lawmakers voted in favor of the House ethics and privileges committee Report 472, which recommended Teves' 60-day suspension.
THE House of Representatives has suspended for 60 days embattled Negros Oriental Third District Representative Arnolfo Teves Jr. over his “disorderly behavior” amid his refusal to return to the country and get back to work.
Teves was sanctioned with the second highest form of penalty an erring member of the House could get under Section 143 of House Rules. In his remark, House Speaker Martin Romualdez said the lower chamber will not tolerate its members’ misconduct and wrongdoing. Teves refused to come back home despite his expired travel authority due to threats in his life amid his implication in the assassination of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo.The House also rejected Teves’ bid for a two-month leave of absence.The committee said the lawmaker failed to provide evidence to support his claims that there is a grave imminent threat against his life.
