00:00Former Presidential Spokesperson, Atty. Harry Roque, faced a POGO hearing in the Senate.

00:06He admitted that he sometimes lived in a house in Benguet where two POGO-connected people were arrested.

00:13He is also one of the owners of the company where this was registered.

00:17Ma'am Gonzalez learned the truth.

00:23No, no, no, no, excuse me, excuse me, Atty. Roque.

00:26I'm sorry, Madam, but I am a resource person invited.

00:29Yes, you are. Wait, wait, wait, let me finish.

00:31I was asked to answer.

00:32Yes, you already answered in excess.

00:34If you want me to stop, let me stop explaining.

00:37Yes, Atty. Roque.

00:38I thought we were engaged in the search for the truth.

00:40Oh, definitely we are.

00:41Atty. Roque, what I'm saying, yes, and Sherwin.

00:44Atty. Roque, please be reminded to respect the chairperson.

00:49I'm very respectful, Madam Chair.

00:51How can you be respectful when you're talking to him?

00:54I apologize, Senator Gatchalian.

00:57One more, and I will cite you in contempt.

01:01He answered to the Senate when former Presidential Spokesperson Atty. Harry Roque was confronted.

01:06He was called after his name was found in the raid of Lucky South 99 Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga.

01:13Roque said he is not a lawyer of Lucky South 99, but of World Wind Corporation,

01:18the owner of the land where Pogo Hub is being built.

01:21Roque was also asked about the looting of his name,

01:24the owner of the house in Tuba, Benguet, where two people were arrested,

01:28a man and a woman connected to Pogo in Bamban, the town of Mayor Alice Go.

01:32One of those apprehended in the Tuba, Benguet home is actually a wanted fugitive in China.

01:40The Cambodian passport held by the man is fake.

01:46He has already defrauded 100,000 people.

01:51Roque admitted that he is one of the owners of the company where the targeted house is registered.

01:56I rented it when I left the government.

01:59I am not denying that, you know, that is a house that I have an interest in.

02:04I have lived in the house.

02:06What I am saying is that it was stolen.

02:09And possession is now with the lessee.

02:12According to Roque, the house is being built by a Chinese national who is legally in the country.

02:18And the man who was arrested by the Bureau of Immigration is a partner of Go.

02:22I would like to see the evidence that the man is involved in Bamban.

02:26Because if not, there is really a concerted effort that I am here in Pogo that I am denying.

02:34According to Dennis Cunanan, the authorized representative of Lucky South 99 in Porac and Hong Sheng in Bamban, Pogo Hub,

02:41he just walked their application to Pagcor as a consultant.

02:45Did you talk to Alice Go?

02:47Yes, Your Honor.

02:48She was introduced as the owner of the property at that time.

02:51Aside from you, who else is the connecting link between Hong Sheng and Lucky South 99?

02:56I suppose they know each other, Your Honor.

02:58Because they are in the same area and they are earning.

03:02Cunanan denied that he ran the payment of Lucky South 99 in Pagcor.

03:07The accountant of Mayor Alice Go, Nancy Gamo, who was one of those arrested by the Senate

03:14because of the previous snubbing in the hearing.

03:16Since 2012, she has been working for Go.

03:20There are really indicators of being shell companies only.

03:24They don't pay taxes, in the BIR.

03:27There are no operations, as you have observed.

03:30There are no employees and there is no remittance in love.

03:34So, didn't you also think that it is a bit problematic?

03:38Even when you first noticed it.

03:40My only concern is to find a way to register and process the documents.

03:46It's not my obligation to assess or evaluate or whatever.

03:52According to the Bureau of Immigration, Mayor Go is still in the country.

03:55That's why Senator Jinggoy Estrada told the NBI and PNP.

03:59If you cannot arrest her within a month, your budget might be affected.

04:06Not yet.

04:07For Jimmy Integrated News, Mav Gonzalez, Nakatutok, 24 Horas.
