Philippines’ Hopia Congress (video)

Roque Family Affair: He Said, She Said, He Said

In the latest episode of *”He Said, She Said, He Said”*, the Roque family drama takes center stage in Congress, where Harry Roque, former Duterte spokesperson, finds himself entangled in accusations linking him to illegal POGO operations. 

Roque, ever the eloquent litigator, dramatically accuses lawmakers of “ruining his family.”

His wife Mylah, however, swiftly counters, proclaiming with indignation that *nobody*, least of all Congressman Barbers, has the power to declare her family “ruined” — though, she left out the part about who actually could.

Enter AR dela Serna, whose contribution to the debate was a masterclass in ambiguity: “I’m not sure, Your Honor.” Riveting stuff. Will someone please remind him if he’s a witness or just auditioning for a telenovela? 

As Congress debates who ruined whose family and what exactly the truth is, one thing’s clear: *everyone* is confused—and entertained. 

Stay tuned for next week’s thrilling installment of “He Said, She Said…He Forgot.”

Is “Miranda Rights” Next For Harry Roque?

In a plot twist worthy of a telenovela, former Duterte spokesperson Harry Roque has turned from the Senate’s star resource person to its most elusive guest. Linked to illegal POGO operations, Roque has climbed the political drama ladder—first earning a free Senate stay (aka contempt custody), then an invitation he simply couldn’t RSVP to (a subpoena), before landing a role as a wanted fugitive. 

As if the script couldn’t get spicier, his daughter has stepped in, filing for a Writ of Amparo to shield him from arrest. What’s next for our embattled protagonist? A scenic high-speed chase down EDSA? Or will we cut to a gripping moment as he’s read his Miranda rights, putting an end to this legal soap opera? 

One thing’s for sure: the Roque Show is just getting started—grab the popcorn, folks!
