Henry Teves voluntarily steps down as Governor of Negros Oriental in the evening hours of October 11, 2022.
Teves spoke to supporters gathered at the front grounds of the capitol as he thanked them. He added “it is not yet over”, referring to the Supreme Court ruling giving Degamo time to answer the arguments of the former.
He expressed disappointment that the high tribunal did not act on an application for a temporary restraining order to prevent the implementation of the Commission on Elections en banc ruling nullifying his election victory in favor of Degamo.
Henry Teves, who won in the May 9 elections but whose election victory was overturned following the transfer of votes of nuisance candidate Ruel Degamo to Roel Degamo, had insisted on staying on at the capitol in the past days.
