Lawmakers on Roque detention: No persecution

Representatives Robert Ace Barbers and Dan Fernandez, co-chairmen of the House quad committee, say that they respect former presidential spokesman Harry Roque and stress that their interpellation of their former colleague is not a demolition job against him. Barbers and Fernandez, in a virtual press conference on Aug. 23, 2024, were reacting to claims by Roque that the investigation was 'persecution' against him. They also said that they would extend courtesy to former president Rodrigo Duterte, whom they invited to shed light on the killing of three Chinese citizens in detention.
