00:00On top of the news, disgraced former presidential spokesperson and chatterbox Harry Roque, a known purveyor of conspiracy theories and falsehoods, is now playing the victim card to portray himself as government's poor women boy in Target for continued persecution, which for all intents and purposes is false because it is a court of law that issued a warrant for his arrest and not the executive or legislative branches of government.
00:29Our Kenneth Pascente tells us more.
00:34Following the issuance of a warrant of arrest against former presidential spokesperson, attorney Harry Roque, the palace strongly denied his claim that he is merely being politically persecuted by the current administration.
00:59Of representatives at the time na nagkaroon po ng hearing sa Quadcom.
01:02So paano po kayo magkakaroon ng political persecution?
01:05At tandaan po natin, courti mismo ang nag-issue ng valid warrant of arrest patungkol po sa kaso ng qualified human trafficking.
01:16In light of Roque's pending petition for asylum, the palace emphasized.
01:21So dapat po, para hindi po siya ma-aresto, since may valid warrant of arrest na in-issue ang ating bansa, siya po ang dapat magpatunay na ang pagkuha sa kanya, gamit man ang Interpol or kooperasyon sa Interpol, siya magpatunay ang pagdala dito sa Pilipinas ay because of mere harassment.
01:36So may condition po yun. Hindi po yun statement na hindi ka pwedeng hulihin. Basta-basta, kung meron naman pong valid warrant of arrest at may kaso siyang dapat kaharapin, hindi po siya dapat magtago sa kanyang petition for asylum.
01:52The issuance of a warrant of arrest against Roque is a welcome development for Senator Risa Ontiveros.
01:58She stressed that Roque is a lawyer and he knows that evading the law is wrong, so he must be compelled to return to the Philippines and face the charges against him.
02:06Senator Wien Gatchalian urged authorities to ensure that wrongdoers are held accountable regardless of their status in life.
02:13As far as the House of Representatives is concerned, some lawmakers welcomed the issuance of the arrest warrant against Roque, especially since the issues involving him were first raised during their hearings.
02:24Well, of course we welcome that development. Nakita niyo naman po yung tinakbo ng Quadcom hearing at nakita niyo naman po kung ginawang legislative process na ginawa po natin.
02:38Hindi lang naman sa Quad, pati naman po sa Tricom, pati din po sa ginawa natin sa Blue Ribbon.
02:43So we welcome that development and we hope that sooner or later, former Secretary Harry Roque will come to terms with justice.
02:55In connection with this, the PNP confirmed that the CIDG has formed tracker teams to arrest the accused individuals who are subject to the warrant of arrest.
03:04But what about Roque who is abroad?
03:05Sa ating pagkakatanda, yan din po ang sinabi ni Yusek Nikiti ng DOJ, maaari po sila makipag-cooperate at makipag-coordinate sa Interpol patungkol po dito.
03:15So abangan na lang po natin kung ano man po ang magiging aksyon ng pamahalaan sa pamagitan po ng DOJ.
03:20From TTV Manila, Kenneth, Pasyente, Balitang Pumbansa.
