Marcos gives Teves a security assurance — and a warning

Mr. Marcos said Teves, who had been linked to the March 4 assassination of Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo and also to a series of killings in the province in 2019, could reenter the country wherever he wanted, noting that he had a private jet that could be permitted to land at Basa Air Base in Pampanga.“To reassure him, we will provide all kinds of security, whatever he wants… He will be surrounded by soldiers. No one can come near him within a kilometer, that will guarantee his security.

He said the government had “made all of these offers” to Teves, but that the lawmaker had yet to make a decision. He does not have any direct contact with Teves but Speaker Martin Romualdez has been in touch with the congressman, he added. In his latest Facebook video, the second to touch on the Degamo case, Teves appealed for fairness as the government looked into his alleged role in the killing of his political rival in an attack that also left eight other people dead.

The lawmaker earlier requested the House leadership for a two-month leave of absence, citing a “very grave security threat” to his life and family, a claim disputed by the Speaker—and now by the President as well.Teves also said he had heard of rumors that Mr. Marcos had given orders to make him answer for Degamo’s death. “To be honest, I didn’t believe that President BBM ordered to further pin me down. I know that you, Mr. President, have nothing to do with this.
