00:00To talk about the departure of the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque, who was arrested by the House Quad Committee, we will talk to Immigration Spokesperson Dana Sandoval.
00:12Good morning ma'am Dana.
00:14Good morning. Good morning Egan.
00:16Do you have new information on the departure of Harry Roque?
00:21As of now, we are still waiting for the response of what we wrote and asked about his records.
00:29But we have leads, new sightings and intelligence information. But I'm not sure if I can share it.
00:39We understand. But the departure of Harry Roque, could that be the same route that was taken by Alice Guo?
00:46As of now, Egan, we cannot say. But this is different. The style that was used here is different.
00:55That is what we are still looking into and we want solid evidence before saying it.
01:00But it seems that the style that was used is different.
01:02How can you explain to the public that the Bureau of Immigration was successful here, ma'am Dana?
01:08To be honest Egan, if you look at our travel records, there were no recent recorded attempts to leave the country.
01:17Former spokesperson Harry Roque, via formal channels, he left the country via illegal means.
01:26Obviously, there are unscrupulous individuals who are helping there.
01:31In those places, in those methods, there were no immigration postings.
01:38These are the illegal ways to leave the country.
01:42This is what we think that private properties were used to leave the country.
01:48Because we do not man. Immigration does not man private properties and we are an archipelago.
01:54There are so many private airships that can be abused by individuals who might wish to leave the country illegally.
02:07The unscrupulous, the immigration is out here.
02:13As of now, we have not seen evidence that there are immigration personnel involved.
02:20The instruction to monitor is very strict.
02:23Actually, even without the Lukot Bulletin and the other derogatory records, there was strict instruction already to monitor the travel of persons of interest.
02:35Our government submits regular updates if there are persons of interest.
02:44But nothing is happening in our areas, Harry Roque.
02:49How will he be accepted in the country he went to if his entry point is illegal?
02:56Can't he be seen in his passport where he came from?
02:59Yes. That's the theory that there might be falsification in his documentation.
03:06That's why he was allowed to enter the country he went to, whether it be UAE as the first port of destination or an Asian country, which we believe so.
03:17That's what we believe.
03:20Our legal team is with the person studying and collecting the documentation so he can be sued once we get information about his documentation.
03:35He can use that to file a case of falsification of documents.
03:40Only because our legal team found that there is no direct law covering people who exit the country illegally.
03:54Okay. Maybe that's what we should focus on.
03:58It looks like that's what's important.
04:01Because in other countries, when our legal team researched, in other countries like the United States and other different countries,
04:09there are laws, China as well, there are laws that put penalties, put jail time on people who leave the country illegally.
04:22We believe it's kind of a long-term solution to the problem of regulation of private areas that are used for illegal travel.
04:32So that when the country leaves, we know that it's illegal to leave the country, we can file a case about that already.
04:41A warrant of arrest can be issued already because it's obvious that it's out of the country illegally already.
04:49And we can seek the help of Interpol with a warrant of arrest without waiting for the other cases that are still pending here in the Philippines.
05:00It's clear. Thank you very much BIA Spokesperson Donna Sandoval. Be careful.
05:04Thank you. Good morning.
