Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa withdrew his earlier approval to have Representative Arnie Teves seem nearly earlier than a Monday Senate committee listening to on the killing of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo.
In Maki Pulido’s Sunday 24 Oras Weekend report, dela Rosa mentioned that the Senate Public Order and Dangerous Drugs Committee, which he chairs, would as an alternative determine on Teves’ potential digital testimony after senators and Pamplona Mayor Janice Degamo expressed their dismay over such an look.
Mayor Degamo is the widow of Gov. Roel Degamo.
“Ipunin ko muna panig ng ating mga kasamahan, then we will come up with a collective decision as a committee,” mentioned dela Rosa.
(I first want to assemble the views of my colleagues, then we are going to give you a collective resolution as a committee.)
Meanwhile, Teves’ lawyer Ferdinand Topacio known as the withdrawal unfair, as a committee listening to held with out his consumer’s testimony can be one-sided.
“Ito naman ay isang hearing in aid of legislation, so both sides must be heard. Otherwise it’s not going to be a hearing anymore,” argued Topacio
(This is a listening to in assist of laws, so either side have to be heard. Otherwise, it’s not going to be a listening to anymore.)
Teves had mentioned that he was unable to return to the nation because of critical threats towards his life.
“This is gintong pagkakataon sapagkat marami pong… dahil maraming gustong sagutin si Congressman Teves,” mentioned Topacio.
(This is a golden alternative as a result of Congressman Teves wish to reply to a variety of issues.) — DVM, GMA Integrated News
