Atty. Roque attends Senate hearing on illegal POGOs, denies being the lawyer for raided POGO hub
Transcript
00:00Former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque appeared before the Senate today for the ongoing hearing on illegal Philippine offshore gaming operators, or POGOs.
00:09Inevitably, Roque and Senator Risa Ontiveros had a heated exchange at some point during the hearing.
00:15The two argued whether Roque acted as legal counsel of LuckySouth 99, which was a POGO hub that was raided by authorities recently.
00:25Let us be fair, because you have been insinuating I am a lawyer for LuckySouth. That is why...
00:31Excuse me, the chair has not been insinuating anything.
00:35The chair and the members of the committee have been asking questions based on the testimonies, sworn testimonies of PAGCOR Chairtenko, Attorney Fernandez of PAGCOR, and other resource persons.
00:50Do you maintain that you are not a lawyer for LuckySouth 99 or any POGO for that matter?
00:56I maintain, as an officer of the courts and under oath before the Senate of the Republic of the Philippines, that I have never acted as legal counsel for LuckySouth 99 or for any other POGO.
01:10Alright, but it is true that you are holding a meeting in PAGCOR regarding POGOs in Porac.
01:18Yes, that is true. I am holding a meeting. But as I said, I am here as a World Wind Corporate Secretary.
