NOTES:
DOJ has filed a motion to cancel harry roque’s passports
remulla made the announcement while roque refuses to return despite having an arrest warrant issued by a pampanga court for qualified human trafficking
filed on friday
“Syempre it would limit his options. I think he holds two or three passports pa nga, may nagsabi sa ’kin ng ganu’n. Ang mahalaga, talagang mapilitan siyang mag-account sa kanyang mga ginawa dito at depensahan niya ang sarili niya”
“Hindi pa nga nagsisimula ang lahat, tinatakasan na niya. Sa batas natin, flight is an indication of guilt. Kaya sana harapin niya na lang para naman maging madali ang lahat para sa ating bansa”
he said this in a chance interview with reporters
alleged involvement in POGO in porac
seeking political asylum in the netherlands
if his passports were cancelled, he would become an undocumented alien and deported if the dutch gov’t decides not to grant asylum
“Pero (But) I doubt it (asylum) kasi (because) Netherlands is one of the countries that opposes human trafficking, which is the charge against Harry Roque.”
hold departure orders have been issued against roque’s co-accused to prevent them from fleeing the country
“Kasi maraming foreigners na involved, kailangan sila sa korte kasi sila ‘yung accused sa krimen. ‘Pag ‘di mo hinold departure order ‘yan, tatakas ‘yan. Syempre that’s the natural predisposition --to go to a safer place-- or they will not be made to account for their wrongdoings”
