Manila Rep. Joel Chua urged former presidential spokesman Harry Roque to come clean about his ties to two foreigners linked to an illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) who were arrested in a house he partly owned in Tuba, Benguet.

“Bilang dati pong opisyal ng gobyerno, tingin ko dapat din ay maging honest siya at sabihin niya talaga kung ano ang ang kinalaman po ditto,” Chua said during a press conference at the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
During a Senate hearing, Roque admitted that he “lived in that house when I left the government and that I do have a stake in the company that owns it.”
The house, which was searched last Saturday for allegedly being used by foreigners linked to the illegal POGO in Bamban, Tarlac, is located in the posh Pinewoods Golf and Country Club in Tuba. Roque said it belonged to PH2 Corp.
