A lawmaker has claimed that he had received information that three active scout rangers were sent to assassinate him and two other family members.

Negros Oriental Third District Representative Arnolfo Teves Jr. said that the alleged assassination plot includes him, his brother and former Negros Oriental Governor Henry Teves and his son and former Board Member Kurt Matthew Teves.

Teves said he recorded a video message on his Facebook page to inform President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. and Secretary Roman Felix of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Military Affairs that he received "A1 information" of the alleged assassination plot.

However Philippine Army Third Infantry Division commander Maj. Gen. Benedict Arevalo said that they have not received any information on Teves' claims but would look into the matter.

Teves, in his video, said he was informed that the three scout rangers are in Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental, and their target are members of the Teves camp and the targets are likely the Teveses and their political allies.

He also alleged that he had received information that the three scout rangers received P250,000 each in down payment and "they were promised P40 million for the three heads."

Teves also alleged that 50 M-16 rifles purchased by his political opponents were brought to Negros Oriental from Negros Occidental.

"They have also recruited a lot of people from the hinterlands," said Teves.

The lawmaker also revealed that there was an instance that his brother, Henry, was followed to a restaurant at Bonifacio Global City by five persons with Army cut hair and surrounded the area where his brother was, adding that his brother's men noticed their presence.
