00:00The Department of Justice will ensure that they will do all the legal means to bring back to the Philippines the former congressman Arnulfo Tevez Jr.
00:09This is after the decision of the Timor-Leste Court was released that Tevez is considered an extradite for returning to our country.
00:17In the released statement of Justice Spokesperson Assistant Secretary Mico Clavano,
00:22they are asking for clarification on the basis of the court's denial of the extradition request.
00:29The Timor-Leste has escaped from our government more than twice,
00:33and this was in June 2024 and December 2024.
00:38Aside from clarification, the DOJ will ensure that they will look for and investigate other legal remedies for the victims of justice.
00:48The agency is calling for the authorities to respect the process of the law in the Philippines
00:55and urge international cooperation to meet justice
00:59because there are many cases of murder, attempted murder, and frustrated murder against Tevez in the court.
01:07It should be noted that Tevez is the so-called mastermind behind the Pamplona massacre
01:13or the murder of the former Negros Oriental Governor Ruel de Gambo and Iwapa in March 2023.
01:20As of now, the case of Tevez is still pending in the Manila Regional Trial Court.
