Former Presidential Spox Harry Roque Posts Photos Taken Abroad
HARRY ROQUE
– Duterte’s former Spokesman took to social media his “cheese farmer” photo amid a pending arrest warrant against him in the Philippines.
Roque hid from the Philippine authorities for several months after the House of Representatives ordered his arrest. The former spokesman of ex-President Rodrigo Roa Duterte is investigated over his alleged involvement in the Philippine Offshore Gaming operations in the country.
Harry Roque only appeared in public again when the custody of former Pres. Rodrigo Duterte was transferred to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, Netherlands. He offered to be one of the lawyers of the former President.
However, the ICC legal team was finalized without Roque’s inclusion. According to Vice Pres. Sara Duterte, he should focus in his application for asylum. Duterte’s former Spokesman previously claimed that he cannot be deported while the application process is ongoing.
Vice Pres. Sara Duterte further expressed that they want lawyers who can really focus in the ICC case of her father. Former Pres. Rodrigo Duterte’s ICC legal team is led by British-Israeli lawyer Nicholas Kaufman.
Philippine court issued an arrest warrant against Harry Roque
amid his stay overseas. However, the authorities admitted that they cannot immediately serve the said arrest warrant due to the asylum application of the former presidential spokesman.
Roque also took to social media
photos
of him taken inside a church as well as photos showing a beautiful scene of nature behind him. Visibly, Duterte’s former Spokesman spent some good times abroad despite the calls for him to return to the country and face the investigation.
Duterte’s former Spokesman previously claimed that he will only return to the country on the first day after the term of Pres. Bongbong Marcos has ended.
Harry Roque has repeatedly called on Marcos Jr. to step down
from his position.
