The Department of Justice on Friday confirmed that expelled Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves Jr. is still in Timor Leste.
Justice Assistant Secretary Jose Dominic Clavano revealed that the DOJ received a statement from former Senator Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao’s camp, which confirmed that the retired boxing icon met Teves in Timor Leste or East Timor.

“We always knew that (Teves) is in Timor Leste. Now, it’s without a doubt,” Clavano said.
“Teves went to the airport to meet Pacquiao and even went to the events attended by the former senator,” he added.
According to Clavano, Pacquiao was invited to go to Timor Leste by its government, assuring that the meeting between Pacquiao and Teves was only by chance and never arranged.
