Former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque was reportedly stopped from flying to the United States, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) revealed during a Senate hearing.
According to BI officials, Roque attempted to board a flight to the US but was prevented from checking in after being intercepted during a stop in Japan. The agency did not disclose the reason behind the travel restriction.
Aside from this failed attempt, BI confirmed that Roque and his wife were later spotted in Dubai and Singapore. However, authorities have yet to provide further details about his current whereabouts.
The Senate continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding Roque’s travels as immigration authorities monitor his movements. Officials have not confirmed whether legal actions or official restrictions are involved.
Roque has yet to issue a statement regarding the incident.
