The House of Representatives has cited former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque in contempt for lying about his non-attendance to a committee hearing by the lower house.
Roque said he has a scheduled court hearing today but lawmakers found out that there was none.
Rep. Ron Salo (KABAYAN Party-List) filed a motion with the House Quad-Commitee to cite the former human rights lawyer for lying to the House of Representatives.
The motion was carried overwhelmingly with only Rep. Paul Daza (NUP / 1st district Northern Samar) voicing an objection.
It’s still unclear what will be the penalty for Roque.
