‘After SC decision, Roque should now surrender’

Defining the News

The House Quad Comm on Wednesday called on former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque to surrender to the panel after the Supreme Court voided his only legal recourse against the committee’s detention order.

Barbers, the overall chair of the Quad Comm, urged Roque to heed the rule of law and cooperate with the ongoing investigation, which has uncovered alarming connections between POGOs and other illicit activities, including illegal drug syndicates and extrajudicial killings. The Quad Comm is investigating the links between POGO, the proliferation of the illicit drug trade, land grabbing by certain Chinese nationals, and the extrajudicial killings associated with the Duterte administration’s brutal war on drugs.

The SC decision, handed down on October 1, clarified that the writ of amparo is intended for cases of extrajudicial killings or enforced disappearances, situations that do not apply in Roque’s case.
