00:00Attorney Harry Roque asked for asylum in the Netherlands to serve as the legal counsel of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:07He was followed by the House Quad Committee, which is investigating Roque's involvement in the illegal movement in the country.
00:16Tina Panganiban-Perez witnessed it.
00:18Last Friday, Attorney Harry Roque asked for asylum in the Netherlands to serve as the legal counsel of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:31And earlier, he announced that he would ask for asylum.
00:49until the investigation is completed if I'm entitled to asylum status and number two, non-prosecution for illegal entry.
00:56But my entry is legal because I have a visa.
00:59Roque is facing a complaint of qualified human trafficking, including Lucky South 99 Pogo in Porak, Pampanga.
01:07Although the case is not yet reaching the court, there is no arrest warrant for this.
01:13But there was an arrest order issued by the House Quad Committee in September last year against Roque because of contempt.
01:21There was also an initiation against him, an immigration lookout bulletin order.
01:25That's why members of the Quad Committee are wondering why Roque left the country, which they consider to be a traitor.
01:33I'm sure he used his passport when he arrived in the Netherlands.
01:37His port of origin will definitely be reflected in his passport.
01:43So why was the Bureau of Immigration not informed about that?
01:47Why didn't the Bureau of Immigration take action?
01:50He was hiding, but he was walking very comfortably.
02:00We still don't know from which country he came from before coming to the Netherlands.
02:06My petition to the Supreme Court has been approved to declare that the investigation they are doing is illegal.
02:13They are saying that it's fake news because Puganti is escaping from an arrest warrant issued by a judge.
02:20The arrest warrant issued by the Congress is only for a resource person to go to a police station and submit documents.
02:29The Quad Committee of the Camera clarified that the contempt and detention order of the committee against Atty. Harry Roque
02:36regarding his being the lawyer of former President Rodrigo Duterte in The Hague, the Netherlands.
02:42He was cited in contempt because of his failure to cooperate and attend and honor the invitation or respect the invitation of the Quad
02:53in the investigation in aid of legislation.
02:56So that's the reason why he was condemned.
03:01His argument is that Roque should return to the Philippines.
03:06It would be better if we challenge him to go home because he brought home F.P. Duterte.
03:14So it would be better if people shout, bring home Roque.
03:19Roque replied,
03:21I cannot come home. I have to defend my president.
03:24We are asking for permission from the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Bureau of Immigration.
03:29In the middle, the Quad Committee said that they cannot cooperate with the International Criminal Court
03:36in case it asks for evidence of corruption in the hearings on extrajudicial killings.
03:42If they can access the records in the social media platforms, let them do it that way.
03:49But asking the participation of the Quad Committee, I'm sorry, but we cannot because we are not a member of the ICC.
