Presidential spokesman Harry Roque Jr. yesterday expressed belief that he did not violate any quarantine protocols when he went to a resort and swam with the dolphins. Roque also admitted he asked if the beach resort was already open since it was the first day of MGCQ. He then decided to pass by a beach resort and leisure park which featured dolphins. “So I said, ‘why not?’ since it is near the areas I visited,” he said. Roque said he has been accredited as an Authorized Person Outside Residence (APOR) by the government task force against coronavirus.
