Former Negros Oriental Representative Arnolfo "Arnie" Teves Jr. was hospitalized due to severe stomach pains.
His lawyer, Ferdinand Topacio, stated that Teves experienced intense pain starting Monday evening while detained, and claimed BJMP personnel did not immediately grant his request for medical help due to protocol.
Teves was brought to a government hospital around 6 a.m. Tuesday, where tests indicated he needed major surgery.
He was subsequently transferred to St. Luke's Medical Center in Bonifacio Global City for the procedure.
All trial courts with pending cases against Teves have been informed of his condition.
