NewsTranscript
00:00After the raid in a house in Tuba, Benguet that is connected to the illegal shooting, the head of the investigation, Atty. Harry Roque, will be with us.
00:09Before that, let's talk to Atty. Harry Roque himself. He's on the other side of the line. Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali. This is Connie Sison.
00:17Yes Connie. Thank you for the opportunity to explain.
00:23In yesterday's hearing, it's not yet confirmed that the person who was caught in the house in Tuba, Benguet is connected to FOGO.
00:32According to Yusef Cruz, he's still investigating if he still has ties to FOGO.
00:37From what I understand, he was caught because of the red seat of Interpol that was eaten by the People's Republic of China for financial fraud.
00:49It's not yet confirmed that he's connected to FOGO. He's still being investigated by PAOC and I'm cooperating with PAOC's investigation.
00:59I also asked for permission from the embassy of the People's Republic of China because I don't know that a fugitive in China hid in his house.
01:09But you will cooperate with PAOC in their investigation on this?
01:16Yes. It's a full cooperation because we're not hiding anything.
01:20The person who hid in that house is a woman named Wan Yu who showed her passport and alien certificate of registration.
01:29It shows on her alien certificate of registration and passport that she's single.
01:36The name of the person who is wanted by the People's Republic of China is different even though it's confirmed that he's that person.
01:45Sir, maybe you can indulge us because when we're talking about this house, I know this is something very private.
01:51But maybe you can explain it to our audience because it's too far.
01:56Is this your house? Why are you interested in this particular property?
02:03I'm not a registered owner.
02:06I'm not a registered owner.
02:09I'm a registered owner of a corporation.
02:12In turn, I'm the owner of a corporation.
02:14Now, I'm just a nominal shareholder.
02:17But I will get the full ownership of that house by way of purchasing the shares of the shares of the registered owner of that house.
02:29That's what I'm confirming.
02:31And I'm also confirming that I lived in that house when I was not in the government.
02:37But when I returned to the government and returned to my practice, it was confirmed that there's no one there.
02:44And on January 24, that's when the contract was signed.
02:51Okay. It's too far. But that's where you chose to live after you joined the government?
02:59Well, this is the first time that I left the government in 2019 when I had feelings and my plan to run for the Senate in 2016 did not go through.
03:10Okay. This is still about the news that you will be cited in contempt supposedly because you attended the Senate hearing with Senator Riza.
03:22Did you have a chance to talk to him?
03:25I asked for his permission because I'm a member of the Executive Board.
03:29But you saw the context of why I spoke. I'm not disrespectful.
03:35What Senator Wingachel said is why I attended while Senator Riza was speaking.
03:40For me, when I speak, Senator Riza is also attending.
03:44It's against the law that when you answer yes, you will be given a chance to explain in the redirection.
03:52But what Senator Riza wants is a yes, no explanation.
03:56I think if you're a man, you can explain the yes, no answer. Why not in the Senate?
04:01All right. Senator Riza also said that the Chinese were hiding in your house under the Interpol Red Notice.
04:07Are you aware of that, sir? You said that you're talking to China regarding this particular notice.
04:19I'm not. That's why I'm ashamed of the Chinese.
04:22I don't know that there are Chinese agents hiding in that house.
04:28That's why my full cooperation is not only with the POCF, but also with the Chinese Embassy.
04:34I'm now working hard to deport them to China.
04:39Okay. Thank you very much, attorney, for the time you gave us in the news this afternoon.
04:43Thank you, Connie. Thank you for the opportunity to explain.
04:46That's attorney Harry Roque.
