In a twist worthy of a comedy of errors, former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque, known for his eloquence, found himself ensnared by his own tongue during a Senate committee hearing on POGO operations.
Denying ownership of the Tuba, Benguet house where suspects were nabbed, Roque’s notorious verbosity got the better of him. With a flourish, he inadvertently declared, “aking bahay” (my house), turning a simple denial into a self-incriminating confession.
Like a fish caught by its own mouth, Roque’s slip of the tongue proved that sometimes, the truth is just a word away—even when one is a master of many words.
Atty. Harry Roque’s recent assertion that rallying against China’s incursion into the South China Sea is merely a distraction from economic issues is as perplexing as it is revealing. It’s like suggesting we ignore a burglar in our house because catching them would disrupt our Netflix marathon.
By advocating this, Roque essentially proposes turning a blind eye to territorial violations in exchange for financial gain, akin to letting a bully steal our lunch money in return for a few crumbs from their table.
It’s a baffling logic that equates national sovereignty with the profitability of POGOs (Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators). Perhaps next, we’ll be advised to auction off our heritage sites to the highest bidder to balance the budget.
If Roque’s stance reflects the government’s strategic thinking, we might as well rename the country to the Republic of POGO-Land and be done with it.
