House probe: Roque ‘effectively’ lawyered for POGO

In a House panel hearing, Harry Roque still denies had he been a lawyer for the Lucky South 99 POGO, and goes with his cocky explanation for hours – until Batangas 2nd District Representative Gerville Luistro found a “gotcha” Supreme Court case.

BATANGAS IS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE HER AS A CONGRESSWOMAN!! GOOD JOB PO!! ❤

Yan ang klase ng mga politician na dapat nasa congreso at senado. Hindi mga Robin Padilla, Lito Lapid at may papasok pang Philip Salvador. Pls po mga voters, maging wise tayo sa pagpili ng ating mga kandidato sa gobyerno. Atty. Luistro, you are my hero. Clear, direct to d point, a woman with substance.

Nawala ang yabang ni roque sa mga tanong ng abugadong Representative. Ang kaya lang naman bastusin ni roque ay si Sen.Hontiveros na hindi isang abogado. Si roque bilang abugado alam na alam niya kung paano paikutin at lusutan ang batas. Stay safe to all.

Kawawa naman si Roque, nasukol ni Cong. Luistro. 😂

[GateKeeperXL]

As a lawyer Roque knows the Law. Yet, As if his personal opinion matters, he is inclined to differ in opinion because he is trying to establish his own narrative.

[LeticiacanoCanoramos]

...ang kaugnayan nyo sa lucky south 99 .. .., sa pamamagitan, you and cassandra ong

[amangsantiago]

Matuto na sana mga voters sa next election.

We are blessed that every time that there are people who try to make a lie the truth, someone out there is sent to guide and make us understand the real situation. Thank you, Atty. Luistro!

Isang MALAKING CHECK MATE! Tinuruan pa ng kapwa abogado tungkol sa Client - Lawyer relatioship!

This is the reason why we need to elect govt official who has the capacity, back up by competency, to fullfill his function effectively, we cant just elect somebody without solid credentials and highest form of integrity, good job cong luistro we are lucky to have you in congress
