Former Negros Oriental Representative Arnolfo Teves Jr. has been returned to Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) custody at Camp Bagong Diwa after his discharge from the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) following an appendectomy.

His legal counsel stated that Teves is still experiencing moderate stomach pains and will request a follow-up checkup from his PGH doctors at the detention facility within a week.

Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla assured that Teves would not receive hospital arrest or preferential treatment.

Teves is currently detained at BJMP Annex 2, and his safety will be ensured.

He is the primary suspect in the March 2023 attack that killed then-Negros Oriental governor Roel Degamo and nine others, and is also facing charges for illegal possession of firearms and explosives.
