A quiet community becomes the backdrop for a string
of brutal murders.
Negros Oriental has been a place of life, a
place of welcome, and a place of paradise. The people have their culture that’s together and we’re aligned. Now,
in a
serendipitous turn of events, the rugged political veteran brothers Cong.
Arnulfo Teves and Former Gov. Pryde Henry Teves
allegedly cultivated a culture of violence on the Province of Negros Oriental and
transformed it from a tool of love into a tool of hate. It has become a place
of death, a place of hell; and a place of guilt where sorrow has brought
sadness.
The
Teves brothers possess the enigma of invulnerability because of their wealth, power, and
influence that they weren’t afraid to bend or break some rules. But their sense of euphoria as the
Kingpin in the Province were soon confronted with the painful
consequences and what they thought have made them untouchable was in fact the one that catalyze their Fall from Grace. Thereafter, Cong. Teves was caught in a maelstrom of his own making that
went through the full spectrum to several murders.
The pivotal moment that caused Cong. Teves the kind
of violent end was that incident on March 4, 2023 that brought the community reels from the senseless and barbaric
nature of crimes. Gov. Roel Degamo, a dignified, loyal leader of integrity, together with
his staffs were doing social services inside his residence that day and it only took a moment when the 9 assassins riddled them with
staccato of gunfire; killing the governor and nine others. Nothing in the country’s history compares the incredible
horrifying massacre that you can think of. All fingers from all the 11 suspects that
were involved in the assassinations were more directly pointing at Cong. Teves as the true offensive
mastermind.
You could see the terror in
their eyes a straight up monster, a top-tier criminal, a kill freak. They kill without hesitation as if the genes to kill were directly
ingrained in their bones. Now, the Teves brothers knew without a doubt that this
was the end of the road for them. They fell into a grave dug by their
own inner demons. Though it was only Cong. Arnulfo Teves that was indicted as
the mastermind of the massacre, but the brotherhood was all together torn
asunder. And the likelihood for Cong. Teves to escape conviction is close to zero.
We now see the man, Cong. Teves, on top of the world
to the lower end of the totem pole;
was going belly up on
the verge of losing everything. Everyone wanted to send him off on an island to
himself. People were not defending him, nobody. It was like Cong. Teves against
the world. It is because he is one that is capable of evil far beyond anything your
imagination could ever conjure up. I think it’s atrocious to take someone’s career, throw it in the garbage.
