00:00Following the surveillance of the camera in the war on drugs by the Duterte administration,
00:06the former PCSO General Manager Rojina Garma was cited in contempt
00:11for avoiding questions about the killing of three Chinese inmates in Davao City.
00:16The former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque was also cited in contempt
00:21after he did not participate in the surveillance of the House Quadcom.
00:25First news, Chino Gaston.
00:28...until we terminate or until he's...
00:31The former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque was again arrested by the House Sergeant at Arms
00:36after he was cited for contempt for the second time.
00:39This is because he did not participate in the hearing of the House Quadcommittee
00:42and repeatedly refused to submit documents explaining his love of his property.
00:49In the first hearing, the committee prioritized the love of the assets
00:53of the Biancham Holdings and Trading Company of Roque
00:56because from P125,000 in 2014, it became P67.7 million in 2018.
01:04Roque explained that they sold a lot in Paranaque
01:08that's why he was asked by the Chamber of Evidence.
01:11He expressed his commitment to produce the documents, reason why we issued the subpoena.
01:17I move Mr. Chair that we hold Harry Roque in contempt,
01:21Attorney Harry Roque in contempt for refusing to submit the documents.
01:26It's worth mentioning that Roque was called to the hearing
01:28to ask about the allegations against him in Pogo sa Bansa.
01:32He was accompanied by Cassandra Lee Ong of Lucky South 99 in a meeting in the court
01:38regarding the problem in the billing of Lucky South 99.
01:41The PAOCC also said that they saw a letter with Roque's name in a search in Pogo Hub in Porac.
01:49According to Roque, he has never been a lawyer of Illegal Pogo or Lucky South 99.
01:55He said that he was accompanied by Ong because he thought Lucky South was a victim of Estafa.
02:01He joined Ong because he wanted the whirlwind connected to Lucky South
02:06to lead the energy projects that he is supporting.
02:10Roque did not hesitate in expressing his contempt against him.
02:14It's time for him to be jailed again in front of the camera
02:16because he is questioning the House Quad Committee.
02:20If they say that they received money from Pogo,
02:23they should present evidence.
02:25I will file the corresponding remedy before the Supreme Court.
02:29I was arrested so I will show my freedom to our judiciary.
02:34While in the hearing of the Quad Committee,
02:36the former Davao penal colony warden, corrections senior superintendent Gerardo Padilla,
02:42talked to the former President Rodrigo Duterte
02:46after three Chinese drug lords were killed by other inmates.
02:50When we were going to the investigation section,
02:53my cell phone rang and I answered it.
02:58According to the voice, the former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte called me
03:08and said congrats superintendent Padilla.
03:11Job well done but you did a great job.
03:16The former PCSO General Manager Roina Garma,
03:21who is a member of the PNP-CIDG of Davao City, was also called for the hearing.
03:24Padilla said in the last hearing that Garma told her not to know about the operation against three Chinese inmates.
03:32When I talked to him on the cell phone of the inmate in Fortaleza,
03:39Chief Garma told me that there are people working there.
03:46This is what you were accused of, right?
03:48Yes, your honor.
03:50So allow me to continue, don't question it anymore.
03:53Your family might get involved.
03:55So you deny making this call?
03:56Yes, your honor.
03:57Garma denied that she was close to the former President Rodrigo Duterte
04:02and that's why she was appointed as the General Manager of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.
04:07Garma was cried when she was cited in contempt for avoiding answering the questions of the committee.
04:13Meanwhile, she will be imprisoned in the House Detention Center
04:16until the hearing of the Quadcom is over
04:18or until she tells the truth that the members of the committee will blame her.
04:24Here is the first news, Chino Gaston for GMA Integrated News.
04:31After being cited in contempt by the former PCSO General Manager Roina Garma,
04:35she rushed home to be with her son.
04:39The committee ordered her to bring her son to the camera so that she can be with him.
