House QuadComm issues show-cause order for Mylah Roque over POGO links
The House Quad Committee issued a show-cause order against Mylah Roque, wife of former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque, for failing to appear in the investigation into Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO).
Lawmakers had previously invited her to previous hearings and listed her as an incorporator of a firm linked to Lucky South 99, an illegal gambling hub.
The committee requested documents from Mylah Roque regarding a medical certificate for herself but she failed to submit them or attend the hearings.
Harry Roque was cited in contempt by the QuadComm last September 13 after he refused to submit documents that would justify his increased wealth and his staff refused to receive the arrest warrant served by House authorities against him.
On September 16, Harry accused Congress of 'power tripping' following contempt and arrest orders issued against him due to his alleged connection to POGO, stating in a live video on Facebook that he is not a fugitive but considers Congress cited in contempt by the people of the Philippines.
