Tax evasion complaint filed against former Duterte spokesman Harry Roque. The Bureau of Internal Revenue alleges Roque, his wife Mylah, and legal counsel Percival Ortega accumulated tax deficiencies totaling 3.35 million pesos. Roque denies the charges, claiming they stem from misunderstandings of corporate and tax principles. He contends no shares were actually issued under any capital stock increase, therefore no taxable event occurred under Philippine tax law. Roque characterizes the complaint as politically motivated harassment targeting individuals associated with the previous administration, raising concerns about fairness and equal protection in tax enforcement and judicial processes.
