00:00 The Anti-Terrorism Council has sufficient evidence
00:02 if they declared Arnie Tevez a terrorist.
00:07 His brother and other suspects in the murder of Governor Ruel Degamo
00:12 are also included in the Tevez terrorist group.
00:14 Luisa Erispe, in Detail.
00:15 Rise and shine, Luisa.
00:17 The state now considers suspended congressman Arnulfo Tevez Jr.
00:25 as a terrorist.
00:27 This is after the Anti-Terrorism Council
00:30 officially declared the accused a terrorist
00:34 under the Umanoy-Tevez terrorist group.
00:37 Umanoy is also included in the group
00:39 along with his brother and former governor,
00:42 Pride Henry Tevez.
00:43 11 suspects are also included in the case of
00:47 the arrest of former Negros Oriental Governor Ruel Degamo.
00:51 What we're saying is that there's evidence
00:54 that shows on the ground how people in Negros Oriental really feel.
01:00 We have more than 50 affidavits that say they're afraid.
01:06 The reason why the police don't move is also because of fear.
01:11 It just goes to show that there really is that widespread fear and intimidation
01:16 present in Negros Oriental.
01:18 The ATC also said that there's no connection here
01:21 with the investigation being conducted by the Department of Justice
01:25 and the arrest of Degamo.
01:27 I'm sure that the TWG really followed this process
01:31 and the recommendation of the TWG was unanimously adopted by the ATC.
01:36 We can defend ourselves.
01:38 We followed the due process and rule of law
01:40 in designating you to the group of Congressman Tevez
01:42 or to any other designation that is in the ATC.
01:47 The congressman cannot be arrested yet
01:50 and his other accomplices, even if they are considered terrorists,
01:54 but based on the anti-terror law,
01:56 they cannot hold or use their authority.
02:00 Mayor Janice Degamo, the wife of former Governor Ruel Degamo,
02:03 was happy with the decision.
02:06 But Congressman Tevez just laughed at the decision of the ATC.
02:11 They should buy a big freezer. Maybe it won't fit.
02:15 [Laughs]
02:18 I'm just kidding.
02:21 I don't have any...
02:24 I have a few.
02:26 Who is the politician who will sow fear?
02:30 You're campaigning to love people,
02:33 but you're scared.
02:35 That's stupid.
02:37 It's just a joke.
02:39 You're wooing people to love you, to vote for you.
02:45 How can you win an election if you scare people?
02:49 The congressman also said that the anti-terror law is being used for politics.
02:55 The camp of Pride Henry Tevez said that they will look for legal ways
03:00 to get rid of the former governor.
03:03 Other lawyers of the suspects in the Degamo case cannot believe the decision of the ATC.
03:09 Along with the Tevez terrorist group,
03:11 the terrorist who was declared a terrorist,
03:13 were Hafida Romate Maute and Nahara Carita Siti Hamim.
03:17 They cannot run for office,
03:19 but based on the implementing rules and regulations of the law,
03:22 they can ask the ATC to remove them from the list if they are included in the six grounds or reasons.
03:28 They can submit this 15 days after the decision was made public.
