'Alam niya ang tama sa mali': PNP chief Marbil has simple message for Roque
The Philippine National Police (PNP) is hunting for former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque, who has been declared a fugitive by a House quad-committee.
The committee ordered Roque's arrest for allegedly refusing to submit subpoenaed documents related to his alleged links to illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) and to justify his increased wealth.
He was cited in contempt after failing to submit his Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) and other documents concerning his family firm Biancham, a subsidiary PH2, and a deed of sale for a Parañaque property.
An arrest warrant was served at Roque's law office in Makati City and PNP operatives also visited his two houses in Metro Manila, but he was not found.
PNP chief Police General Rommel Marbil stated that Roque "knows what is right from what is wrong" and should present himself to the House of Representatives.
Marbil confirmed that multiple agencies, including the PNP, NBI, and BI, are assisting in the search for Roque.
