Ogie Diaz Slams Harry Roque’s Outburst
OGIE DIAZ – The veteran showbiz personality commented on a viral video of former presidential spokesperson Atty. Harry Roque, who is currently in The Hague, Netherlands. In the video, Roque strongly reacts to reports that he may be arrested by the Philippine government for his alleged involvement as a legal counsel for a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) hub in Pampanga.
Roque was filmed outside the International Criminal Court (ICC) detention center, where former President Rodrigo Duterte is reportedly being held over charges of crimes against humanity. Roque argued that the planned arrest against him is politically motivated and is simply another form of corruption aimed at generating money through legal processes.
He also emphasized that Philippine authorities cannot easily arrest him in the Netherlands, claiming they themselves could face imprisonment if they attempt to do so—especially since his application for asylum is still being processed.
In response to the video, Ogie Diaz took to Facebook to share his thoughts. He said, “Juice ko, ang lola nyo, nagtutungayaw doon. Matapang dahil nasa ibang lugar. Umuwi ka kasi dito para idepensa mo ang sarili mo kung wala ka talagang kasalanan, ateng. Kalokah.” Ogie criticized Roque for being outspoken and defiant while abroad, urging him to come home and face the accusations if he truly has nothing to hide.
As of now, Harry Roque and his camp have not issued any official response to Ogie Diaz’s public remarks.
