'VP Sara visited Teves in October, not Madriaga'MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte visited former lawmaker Arnie Teves Jr. at the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology facility in Camp Bagong Diwa in October, not Ramil Madriaga. This is according to Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla, who shared this information at a press conference Tuesday, December 23. "Pumunta sya doon pero kinausap nya si Arnie Teves, hindi si Madriaga (She did go to the facility, but it was Arnie Teves she visited, not Madriaga)," Remulla said at a press conference held by the National Police Commission (Napolcom). "I have never visited him in prison, nor have I spoken to him about anything at any time," she said. The vice president has at one point compared herself to Teves in terms of their shared legal troubles.
