FORMER Palace spokesman Harry Roque has denied he owns the house in an exclusive subdivision in Tuba, Benguet, which was raided by law enforcers over the weekend amid reports that a Chinese fugitive was hiding there.
Roque on Monday appeared at the Senate inquiry on the alleged human trafficking in some POGO hubs, particularly the one in Bamban, Tarlac, that was raided earlier.Sen. Risa Hontiveros, chairman of the panel doing the inquiry, invited Roque to the public hearing after Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. Chairman Alejandro Tengco mentioned that he once asked Pagcor to assist a POGO executive with her tax payment issues.
In a later statement, Roque said he 'did not intercede on behalf of an illegal POGO since Lucky South had a legal license until May 22, 2024. My discussion with the Pagcor chairman centered on the rescheduling of Lucky South's arrears payment.'He added that as of July 26, 2023, Dennis Cunanan, former Technology and Livelihood Resource Center deputy director, was still the registered representative of Lucky South to Pagcor.
