Father of Kurt Matthew Teves has spoken on the issue he beat up a security guard
ARNIE TEVES – The House Deputy Speaker and Negros Oriental Representative has broken his silence following his son’s mauling of a security guard.
Kurt Matthew, the son of Congressman Teves made headlines earlier after he was caught on camera together with his companions beating a security guard at BF Homes in Parañaque City.
The mauling incident was caught by the CCTV camera showing the security guard identified as Jomar Pajares being beaten up by Teves and his companions.
In an interview via GMA News, the victim shared the attack started when he told the son of the lawmaker that they are not allowed to enter the subdivision since they don’t have a residential sticker.
According to Pajares, another gate is open for those who do not have a residential sticker but a motorist entering the said subdivision should leave an identification card.
Kurt Matthew Teves left the scene and returned with his companions onboard another vehicle. When they got out of the vehicle, they talked to Pajares, however, they ended up beating the security guard.
But before the mauling, the son of the congressman challenged the security guard for a shootout.
Meanwhile, in an interview with Ben Tulfo via his program Bitag, Congressman Teves is wondering why the public is trying to hype the incident.
He believes that the issue is “politically motivated.”
“I don’t know why they are trying to hype that in the media…I think it is politically motivated …trying to hit on me and my son. Kung anak ko talaga ang nakita nila kasuhan nila,” he said.
He also tagged his son as a victim of “trial by publicity.”
Kurt Matthew has yet to personally issue a statement regarding the incident.
