Iginiit ng Palasyo na may matibay na ebidensya na sangkot si dating Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque sa human trafficking. Kaya paano raw nito maikakatwiran ang political persecution sa hiling nitong asylum sa The Netherlands? Tugon ‘yan ng Malacañang kay Roque na nagsabi namang hindi siya pugante.

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.
