Roque continuously does not show up amid questions about his connections to the illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) in the Philippines. His name was dragged into the issue after a letter to Roque was found in a raided hub in Porac, Pampanga.

The former presidential Spokesman was accused as the chief of the legal department of the raided POGO hub. He denied the allegations but admitted to providing legal counsel to Whirlwind Corporation, the company that allegedly leased the building to the illegal POGO.

Former presidential spokesman Harry Roque previously teased to reveal the POGO protectors in the Philippines when he was invited by the Senate for a hearing. However, it did not happen.

Last month, the House Quad Committee cited Roque in contempt for failing to submit the subpoenaed documents related to the POGOs. An arrest order was released but the lawyer could not be found.

The House QuadComm also cited Harry Roque’s wife, Mylah Roque, in contempt and ordered her arrest. However, based on a report on GMA News, Mylah Roque is now out of the Philippines.
