SUPORTADO ng PDP-Laban ang ginawang pagsibak ng Kamara de Representantes kay Rep. Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves, Jr. bilang kinatawan ngayong 19th Congress.

Isang pahayag ang inilabas ng PDP-Laban sa pamamagitan ng tanggapan ni Surigao del Sur Rep. Johnny T. Pimentel, Deputy Secretary-General for Mindanao ng partido.

“In our unyielding dedication to the pillars of democracy, the PDP-Laban demands absolute integrity, steadfast commitment, and unblemished accountability from every elected representative under its banner,” sabi ng PDP-Laban.

Ang kaso umano ni Teves ay hindi lamang dapat ikabahala kundi gawan ng nararapat na aksyon.

“A representative’s primary duty is to ardently advocate for their constituents, a commitment from which Rep. Teves has egregiously deviated, evident from his sustained absences and efforts to seek asylum elsewhere. The constituents of the 3rd District of Negros Oriental, whom we pledge to serve tirelessly, have been unjustly deprived by Rep. Teves’s lack of diligence,” saad ng partido.

Ang matatakpan umano bilang isang terorista ay isang pagyurak sa dangal ng institusyon.

“The PDP-Laban stands unwaveringly with the collective judgment of the political party leaders on this critical issue. We vehemently advocate for preserving the integrity, trustworthiness, and respect of the House of Representatives. With firm resolve, we express our unambiguous endorsement for the expulsion of Rep. Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves, Jr. Our allegiance to the core tenets of democracy and the well-being of the Filipino people remains unshaken,” sabi pa ng partido.
