- 19 days ago
Former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque released a statement on his Facebook page on Wednesday regarding his involvement in the Porac POGO hub.
Roque was named by PAGCOR chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco during a senate hearing as the one who helped in the granting of a license to a recently-raided POGO firm in Porac, Pampanga.
During the continuation of the Senate investigation into the POGO hubs that were raided, Tengco narrated that sometime in July 2023, Roque accompanied Katherine Cassandra Li Ong, the authorized representative of Lucky South 99, in a meeting in his office to discuss the "problems" about the POGO firm's billing from PAGCOR. Roque was no longer a public official when the meeting happened.
In a press statement, Roque said he is not and has never been a legal counsel for any illegal POGO and was not a counsel for Lucky South 99.
