House quad comm warns Mylah Roque of contempt charges

The House of Representatives' quad committee warned Mylah Roque, wife of former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque, about possible contempt charges if she does not comply with their show cause order.

Quad committee Vice Chairperson Romeo Acop stated that Mylah Roque could be cited in contempt for refusing to attend the hearing despite an invitation and medical certificates being rejected by the committee.

Mylah Roque called quad-committee lead presiding officer Ace Barbers an 'abusive individual' after he claimed she was an incorporator of Lucky South 99, a POGO hub involved in human trafficking issues.

The quad comm issued a show cause order against Mylah Roque regarding her alleged involvement with Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) alongside her husband and reminded her that failing to attend the hearing could result in an arrest order.

Harry Roque was previously cited in contempt and ordered detained by the committee on September 13 for refusing to submit documents explaining his increased wealth.
