Duterte’s Former Spokesman Harry Roque Seemingly Chides Marcos Jr. Administration Anew
HARRY ROQUE – The former presidential spokesman claimed that his name is allegedly not on the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) Red Notice List.
Roque previously asked the prayers of the Filipino people after an order of a Philippine court for the cancellation his passport was released. Back in the Philippines, he is faced with an arrest warrant amid the investigations of his alleged involvement in the Philippine Offshore Gaming operations.
However, amid the probe on the illegal POGO operations in the country, Roque hid abroad. He was out from the public sight for several months until the custody of former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, his former boss, was transferred to the International Criminal Court.
Duterte was arrested by the Philippine authorities last March 11. Following his arrest, he was detained for several hours at the Villamor Air Base and was sent to Dubai en route for The Hague, Netherlands on the same day. His custody was transferred to the ICC and it brought political turmoil in the Philippine government.
Former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte remains detained under the custody of the ICC for 9 months now. According to Harry Roque, he will stand by the former President even if charges against him will pile up. A Philippine court has issued an arrest warrant against him.
However, when the warrant was out, Roque has already applied for an asylum in The Netherlands. He claimed that he no longer has to hide as asylum seekers cannot be deported while the application process is ongoing.
Roque claimed that he cannot forgive Pres. Bongbong Marcos for allegedly causing the separation between him and his family. According to him, he will only return to the country on the very first day after the term of the former Chief Executive ends.
Recently, through a post on social media, Harry Roque claimed that his name is allegedly not on the Interpol Red Alert Notice list. He also stated on his post a seemingly another chide on the Marcos Jr. government.
Amid a Red Notice threat, Harry Roque vowed his loyalty to former Pres. Rodrigo Duterte “until death”.
