00:00The palace denied that there is solid evidence that the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque is involved in human trafficking.

00:09So how can he justify the political persecution in his asylum in the Netherlands?

00:16That's what the Malacanang said to Roque, who said that he is not a fuganti.

00:21Ivan Mayrina has the story.

00:23He's the one who went home. It's better to shout, people, bring home Roque.

00:30In the face of that accusation, the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque quickly responded.

00:35I'm sorry, I cannot come home. I have to defend my president. I'm filing formally for asylum here at the Netherlands.

00:44However, he cannot be considered a fuganti because there is no arrest warrant from the court.

00:49And there is only an arrest order from the camera that is being sent to him for interrogation.

00:53In September 2024, he was condemned by the Quad Committee of the Camera,

00:57accused of human trafficking, because of his involvement in the illegal pogo in the country.

01:02It is clear that this is an investigation in Pogo that they wanted to link the former president Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

01:12And it is clear, in my opinion, the political motivation behind the investigation on the Pogo.

01:18I am confident that I can prove political persecution through unjust prosecution of the Quad Committee.

01:27According to Malacanang, Roque has an application.

01:30He also said, it is important to base your political asylum in a country in a remote place

01:36is the proof of the so-called conspiracy.

01:39He should show that he has a well-founded fear of political persecution.

01:44We should also remember that the evidence that was collected by PAOK at that time

01:50suddenly appeared in front of PAOK without even any effort.

01:54So how could there be a political persecution if all the pieces of evidence are overwhelming?

02:01According to Palacio, the Philippines is not taking any action to bring Roque back to the country.

02:06But it will be a different story if there is a warrant of arrest against him by the court.

02:11The House Quad Committee is trying to get more signatures on what Roque said.

02:15For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Melina, for Tutok Tulfo, 24 hours.
