THE Anti-Terrorism Council on Tuesday designated Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo A. Teves Jr. and his armed group as “terrorist individuals” in a resolution dated July 26, 2023.
In Resolution No. 43, the Council tagged Teves Jr. and his 12 armed men as “Teves Terrorist Group” after they allegedly violated the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020.
The resolution likewise labeled Teves’ brother, former Negros Oriental Gov. Pryde Henry Teves, as a terrorist for allegedly providing material support to his brother’s alleged terrorist group.
The ATC’s Resolution No. 63 was only made public on Tuesday, August 1.
The 11 other people who were also tagged by the government’s anti-terror body as terrorists are the following:
Marvin Miranda for violations of Sections 4 (a), 6, 10, and 12 of the ATA:
Rogelio Antipolo for violations of Sections 4 (a) and 6 of the ATA;
Rommel Pattaguan for violations of Sections 4/al and 6 of the ATA:
Winrich Isturis for violations of Sections 4 (a) and 6 of the ATA:
John Louie Gonyon for violations of Sections 4 (a) and 6 of the ATA:

According to ATC, Sumero handled the operational funds for the alleged “terrorist attacks” of congressman Teves’ alleged terrorist group while Miranda acted as organizer and recruiter “of personnel for specific terrorist attacks.”
On the other hand, the ATC said Pryde Henry Teves and the nine others assisted in the alleged political killings in the province.
