Speaker Martin Romualdez says the House committee on ethics and privileges may be compelled to 'consider another possible disciplinary action' against congressman Arnie Teves if he does not return to work after his suspension lapses.
that the lawmaker sought asylum in Timor Leste, although the latter denied his application.
He discouraged Teves from further seeking refuge in another country and “[abandoning] his sworn duty to serve as member of the House of Representatives.” “Should Congressman Arnie continue to defy the return to work order after the lapse of the 60-day period of his suspension, the House committee on ethics and privileges may be constrained to reconvene and consider another possible disciplinary action against him. This is our recourse in order to preserve the dignity, integrity, and reputation of the House of Representatives,” the Speaker said.
Teves had been slapped with the rare punishment of suspension from the lower chamber since March 22, as he showed “disorderly behavior” when he stayed abroad with an expired travel clearance and defied orders to return home and perform his congressional duties.
