MANILA, Philippines — Suspended Negros Oriental 3rd District Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr. questioned Justice Secretary Jesus Crisipin Remulla as to how his lawyers could attend the preliminary investigation when they were not given a ‘proper invitation to the party'. Teves in another video uploaded on his Facebook page early Wednesday morning said that it would seem like gatecrashing a party if they proceed to the preliminary investigation proceedings without getting a subpoena. The lawmaker was referring to Remulla's warning to Teves' lawyers, saying on Tuesday that they should take the legal proceedings seriously as the defense panel supposedly failed to show up at the preliminary investigation on the same day.
