Philippine authorities investigate former spokesperson Harry Roque's possible illegal exit on private plane

Authorities in the Philippines are investigating whether former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque left the country on a private plane. The Bureau of Immigration reported no record of his departure, raising concerns about possible illegal exit. Justice Undersecretary Raul Vasquez highlighted issues with border control, referencing a similar case involving dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo, who left the country undetected in July. The Bureau is considering charges against Roque for his alleged unauthorized departure. Roque confirmed he traveled to Abu Dhabi to notarize a document related to a human trafficking case. However, immigration officials stated there is no evidence he left through official channels, prompting calls for a thorough investigation into the matter.
