00:00Former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque was again cited in contempt after he did not attend the hearing of the House Quad Committee earlier.
00:08Roque is now going to sleep in the Supreme Court.
00:11Witness, Chino Gaston.
00:16Former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque was again arrested by the House Sergeant-at-Arms after he was cited for contempt for the second time.
00:24This is because he did not attend the hearing of the House Quad Committee earlier and repeatedly refused to submit documents explaining his love for his power.
00:34In the first hearing, the committee cited the love for the assets of the company Biancham Holdings and Trading of Roque.
00:42From only P125,000 in 2014, it became P67.7 million in 2018.
00:50Roque explained that they sold a lot in Paranaque so he was asked by the Evidence Chamber.
00:57He expressed his commitment to produce the documents, reason why we issued the subpoena.
01:03I move Mr. Chair that we hold Harry Roque in contempt, Attorney Harry Roque in contempt for refusing to submit the documents.
01:11Remember, Roque was called to the hearing to ask about the allegations against him in Pogo sa Bansa.
01:18He was followed by Cassandra Lee Ong of Lucky South 99 in a meeting in Pagkor regarding the problem in the billing of Lucky South 99.
01:26The PAOCC also said that they saw a letter with the name of Roque in a search in Pogo Hub in Porac.
01:34Roque explained that he was never a lawyer of any illegal Pogo or Lucky South 99.
01:41He said that he accompanied Ong because he thought Lucky South was a victim of Estafa.
01:46He accompanied Ong because he wanted the whirlwinds connected to Lucky South to lead the energy projects that he was promoting.
01:55Roque did not deny the new site of contempt against him.
02:00If they say, I received money from Pogo, they will present evidence.
02:04I will file the corresponding remedy before the Supreme Court.
02:08They arrested me so I will show my freedom in our judicature.
02:14While in the hearing of the PAOCC, the former Davao Penal Colony Warden, Corrections Senior Superintendent Gerardo Padilla,
02:22who he talked to, was arrested.
02:23Former President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested after three Chinese drug lords were killed by other inmates.
02:29When we went to the investigation section, my cell phone rang and I answered it.
02:38According to the voice, it was former President Rodrigo Duterte who called me and congratulated Superintendent Padilla.
02:51Job well done, but he did a great job.
02:55Former PCSO General Manager Roina Garma, who was a member of the PNPC-IDG of Davao City, was also called for the hearing.
03:04Padilla said in the last hearing that Garma told him not to know about the operation against three Chinese inmates.
03:12When I talked to him on the cell phone of the inmate of Fortaleza,
03:20Chief Garma told me that there are people working there.
03:26This is what you were accused of, right?
03:29Yes, Your Honor.
03:30So allow me to continue.
03:32Don't question him.
03:33Your family might get in trouble.
03:35So you deny making this call?
03:36Yes, Your Honor.
03:37Garma was accused of being close to former President Rodrigo Duterte,
03:42so he was appointed as the General Manager of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.
03:46Garma was cried when he was cited in contempt for avoiding answering the questions of the committee.
03:53Meanwhile, he will be imprisoned in the House Detention Center until the Quadcom hearing is over
03:58or until he tells the truth that was blamed by the members of the committee.
04:04For GMA Integrated News, who do you want as your witness?
