Roque's Arrest Imminent: Justice or Persecution?

The arrest of former Philippine presidential spokesperson Harry Roque is imminent, despite his claims of political persecution. The Department of Justice has confirmed that Roque, currently in The Netherlands, can be apprehended through Interpol. This follows a statement by Roque himself, labeling the charges against him as an act of political pressure. However, a contrasting perspective comes from Salvador Panelo, a former ally of Roque, who believes the charges are valid and urges Roque to return to the Philippines to face the legal proceedings. "This is not political persecution," Panelo stated in an interview, "This is a matter of justice."
