00:00He went home and stopped participating in the discussion in the ICC.
00:07This is an order from the Justice Department to Attorney Harry Roque.
00:11He will face the complaint of qualified human trafficking in Pogo.
00:17He has no plans to block Roque's application for asylum in the Netherlands.
00:23Salim Alefran is on the line.
00:26It's important for us as lawyers to be formally announcing that I'm filing formally for asylum here at the Netherlands.
00:33This is an answer from the Justice Department to the announcement of the former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
00:38Nothing has happened yet and he's running away.
00:41Right? No, face him.
00:44There's no case yet.
00:45He's still a lawyer. He's not obeying the law.
00:48Roque is facing the complaint of qualified human trafficking,
00:51qualified human trafficking in Whirlwind Corporation and Lucky South 99,
00:56companies affiliated with Pogo Hub,
00:59which was involved in illegal activities in Porac, Pampanga.
01:03Roque's complaint has been submitted for resolution.
01:05He is also involved in other complaints such as Cassandra Ong.
01:09He will also face an arrest order against his House Squad Committee
01:12because Roque did not comply with the hearings.
01:15This is an order from the Justice Department to Roque.
01:17Roque should go home and stop joining the discussion in the ICC.
01:22He's frowning to be relevant. He doesn't need to be here.
01:26It's not even the issue.
01:28He withdrew as a lawyer, ICC lawyer.
01:32Even though he's still relevant.
01:34What they're talking about here is human trafficking.
01:37The accusations against him.
01:39Remulia also has an objection to Roque's statement.
01:42I am confident that I can prove political persecution.
01:47We have nothing to do with his politics. He has nothing to do with politics.
01:53Palacio also said...
01:55It would be better if he represents himself first,
01:59to defend himself before defending other people.
02:02Anyway, regarding his asylum,
02:05if there is a warrant of arrest,
02:10and if he faces a criminal case in court,
02:15only then will Palacio react.
02:18There is no home departure order, that's why Roque can go abroad.
02:21Even though there is an immigration lookout bulletin order,
02:24that's why he should be told to leave.
02:26But it was confirmed that Roque already filed a counter affidavit
02:31with the Philippine Embassy in Abu Dhabi.
02:34The Bureau of Immigration is investigating how he left the country.
02:38Roque has yet to respond to the messages of GMA Integrated News to him.
02:43For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nima Refra.
02:46Reporting for 24 Hours.
