In a twist worthy of a telenovela, Atty. Harry Roque, the former spokesperson for Rodrigo Duterte, has promised to expose the officials protecting illegal POGO operations when he testifies before a Senate committee next week.

It’s a dramatic announcement, but the real drama just unfolded when law enforcement nabbed two Chinese nationals involved in illegal POGO activities. The kicker? They were caught in what is believed to be Roque’s very own home in Tuba, Benguet.

Now, Roque’s vow to unmask the villains of the POGO underworld is starting to look more like a grand unmasking of himself. Is it a bold strategy to divert attention, or simply a plot twist no one saw coming? Either way, the Senate testimony next week promises to be must-see TV.

Grab your popcorn, folks, as Roque’s attempt to play hero might just end with him as the main antagonist. The irony is so rich, it should come with a side of hot butter.
