MANILA, Philippines — The camp of Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr. has asked the Department of Justice (DOJ) to dismiss the illegal possession of firearms, ammunition, and explosives filed against him. In a motion to dismiss, Teves, through his lead counsel Ferdinand Topacio, said the complaint filed by the Philippine National Police (PNP) should be dismissed for 'utter lack of merit.' The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) filed the complaint following the simultaneous implementation of search warrants in the properties owned by the lawmaker.
