00:00The House of Representatives' Quad Committee wants government agencies to mount a full
00:04legal attack against former Rodrigo Duterte spokesperson Harry Roque for his ties to PORAC's
00:09scam hub LuckySouth99 and his escape to the UAE in the face of congressional warrants.
00:15Roque already faces human trafficking and money laundering complaints with the Justice
00:18Department in connection with LuckySouth99. Due to the lack of court warrants, Roque was
00:23able to leave the country. The Quad Committee also wants the Anti-Money Laundering Council
00:28to freeze Roque's accounts. Roque was the counsel for Whirlwind, the real estate company who leased
00:33property to then-POGO LuckySouth99. Roque earlier admitted helping LuckySouth99's Catherine
00:39Cassandra Ong set meetings with the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation so the POGO
00:44could renew its license. The committee says Roque must return to the Philippines immediately,
00:48but without a court warrant, the legal grounds to compel him to come home are limited.
