00:00After insisting that he will not be arrested by the Quad Committee of the Camera, some young people were challenged by the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque.
00:10The PNP also set up tracker teams to track down Roque.
00:14This is the story of Ian Cruz.
00:19We are asking for a document from you because of your alleged involvement in talking about the illegal pogo.
00:27You are a man. You are facing us. You are not always behind the Quad.
00:32This is the challenge of the House Quad Committee to the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque.
00:37It is about documents that will prove in his story that the land was sold for money for his corporations that are now involved in the pogo.
00:48Roque is jealous. His company has been around for a long time and it has nothing to do with the pogo.
00:53We have no interest in his wealth.
00:56We are interested in the link between Bianchang Corporation and PH2 Corporation that he owns in Lucky South 99.
01:05Explain to us why the value and network of your corporation has increased.
01:11In his social media post, Roque said that he will not be arrested by the committee that investigates the pogo hubs of Pantarlac and Forak, Pampanga.
01:20I will not be arrested. I will wait for the decision of the Supreme Court.
01:24If the Supreme Court says to issue a document, I will issue it. But for now, let's wait for the decision of the court.
01:33He should be arrested first. It's not appropriate for him to go up to the Supreme Court because there is no justiciable issue.
01:42So he should be here first.
01:44According to some who are leading the Quadcom, flight means guilt about Roque's non-confrontation with their committee.
01:51They insist that the Congress has the authority to investigate.
01:55What we are looking for, we cannot promise, not only the Philippine National Police, but all law enforcement that helps in the investigation.
02:02We don't have any info if he will confront, but I know that he's still in the country. There is a lookout bulletin for him.
02:09Next Wednesday, the Quadcom will hear about the illegal pogo.
02:13As for the next guests of the Quadcom on Wednesday,
02:17Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Ko has already sent a letter to the Quadcom in Valenzuela, RTC.
02:24Lawmakers are waiting for the notice if the former mayor can attend the hearing.
02:30Ian Cruz reporting for GMA Integrated News.
02:36According to the investigation of the House Quad Committee on the illegal activities of the pogo,
02:40we will talk to the House Quad Committee Chairman, Representative Robert Ace Barbers.
02:44Good morning and welcome to the news this afternoon.
02:47Good morning Raffy. Good morning to our countrymen.
02:51What is your priority in the continuation of the hearing of the committee tomorrow?
02:56This illegal pogo is a very important issue Raffy.
03:01Many people in the government, we believe, are involved in this.
03:09Just like yesterday in the Senate, there was a story that there was a former chief PNP involved in this.
03:18It was also said that there are government agencies that helped in the escape of Mayor Alice Ko.
03:27Most of all, this illegal pogo started.
03:32How did Mayor Alice Ko become the mayor? How did she establish the pogo?
03:39Who is behind this pogo? There are many people involved in this Raffy.
03:44That's why this issue is very serious.
03:47If it wasn't disclosed yesterday in the Senate who the former chief PNP is, will it be known tomorrow in Congress?
03:54I hope that our witnesses will cooperate.
03:58But in their tone yesterday, they have a firm heart and firm answers to the questions of our fellow senators.
04:09But we will try our best to force them to cooperate,
04:15especially to the people who have accountability to our children.
04:21These are government officials. Hopefully, we can figure this out and determine who these people are.
04:30What is the role of the Valenzuela Regional Trial Court in your invitation to Alice Ko to attend the hearing of Quadco?
04:36Personally, I have no idea yet at the moment.
04:41But our invitation was sent last week.
04:45Supposedly, our hearing was on Tuesday.
04:50But we gave way to the Senate so that the resource persons won't have a problem.
04:59Because we invited the same resource persons.
05:03Regarding the petition for securing Campo ni Cassandra, what can you say about this?
05:09He has the right to go to the Supreme Court and file a certiorari.
05:17I hope that the court will decide that for the sake of our Quadco to reveal the truth,
05:27I hope that the certiorari will not be allowed. That's our request.
05:33I have many more questions for him. He still has many questions that are not clear to you.
05:37That is correct. In fact, there are many other members of the Quad who want to ask questions,
05:44not only to him, but to other personalities who have connections here in Pogo,
05:50like Atty. Harry Roque, Cassandra Ong, Mayor Don Calugay.
06:01These are the personalities that we believe have sufficient information to help in this investigation.
06:10I hope that they will cooperate with our committee.
06:13You mentioned Atty. Harry Roque and you challenged him to face the charges.
06:18Has he reached out to you?
06:20He hasn't reached out to me yet, Raffy.
06:23That's why, if he's listening, I hope that he will have a chance to speak here in Congress.
06:30That way, he will be able to help our country in revealing the truth.
06:38What will you do if he really refused to show his face?
06:42Well, he was already cited in contempt. In fact, this contempt order of the Quad committee is related to an arrest order.
06:51If he will be found, if he will be located, he will be brought to the Quad committee and he will be forced to speak there.
07:01All right. Let's wait for the updates on these issues.
07:06Thank you very much for your time on Balitang Hali.
07:09Thank you, Raffy.
07:11Squad Committee Chairman Representative Robert Ace Barbers.
