News of Rep. Arnolfo Teves returning to the country Wednesday morning may not be true at all.
Hours after Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla bared that he has sources confirming Teves’ arrival, government-owned Radyo Pilipinas claimed it was a hoax via an “exclusive interview.”
Teves late Tuesday tweeted a cryptic message: “READY NABA ANG ALL?” with matching emojis, triggering speculation that he is coming back any time soon.
The Negros Oriental congressman is being sought over the killing of province Gov. Roel Degamo and eight other people inside his own home two months ago.
Teves has been reportedly hiding in East Timor where he applied for political asylum which was eventually turned down.
Remulla had earlier said there is still no warrant of arrest issued against Teves.
