Antipolo City 2nd district Rep. Romeo Acop and the other attending congressmen were perplexed after hearing the revelations of Alberto Rodulfo “AR” dela Serna. During the quad committee hearing held by the House of Representatives, dela Serna detailed his revelation about having a joint bank account with his former employee Atty. Harry Roque.
According to him, the biggest one-time deposit to the joint bank account was Php 3 million but currently, the account is closed. He did not give any contribution to the account, however, he was authorized by the former presidential spokesperson to withdraw money from the account anytime he wants.
Acop expressed that he’s only heard of this setup between a couple or between a parent and a child. However, dela Serna explained that despite this setup, he did not meddle with Roque’s money.
As far as he can remember, the joint account was during the election but he has no idea of the total amount that was deposited in the said account. What he just did was withdraw between Php 1.2 million to Php 1.8 million every month for “election purposes” and payroll of election staff.
When asked why he agreed to this, he responded that he is only following the attorney’s order.
Apart from this, dela Serna also revealed that they’ve had traveled abroad six times in 2023. At that time, he was no longer an employee of Roque. They visited Hong Kong, Beijing, China, Japan, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi.
It was in April 2023 when they went to Hong Kong for the premiere of a movie. Previously, he was Roque’s helper and his basic pay then was Php 20,000.00.
