(UPDATE) DEPARTMENT of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said the decision of the Court of Appeals in Timor-Leste to reaffirm the approval of the Philippine government's request to extradite expelled Negros Oriental congressman Arnolfo Teves Jr. will hasten the process for his return to the Philippines.

Teves, who faces multiple murder charges, will be tried in Manila for alleged involvement in the killing of former Negros Oriental governor Roel Degamo and several of his supporters in March 2023.
