Well, I now have a picture and this is taken April 9 in a rally organized by KMU (Kilusang Mayo Uno) and Gabriela party list,\u201d Roque said.<\/p>\n<p>The rally was held in front of the Coca-Cola Davao City Distribution Center in Ulas, Davao City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere you have it, Sister Fox speaking in the strike at Coca-Cola Davao City. It is very clear, she is holding a microphone,\u201d Roque said while showing the photo on television.<\/p>\n<p>Roque believed that Fox did not tell everything to the CBCP including a separate occasion where the Australian nun also spoke in a protest rally in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>When asked to comment on the Commission on Human Rights\u2019 plan to investigate Fox\u2019s arrest, Roque said: \u201cIt\u2019s up to them. Do what they want to do\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Fox, a 71-year-old nun, was arrested and temporarily detained last April 16 for supposedly joining a political activity.<\/p>\n<p>The Bureau of Immigration released her the next day but \u201cfor further investigation after it was established that the Australian nun holds a valid missionary visa thus, she is a properly documented alien\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>President Rodrigo Duterte had taken full legal responsibility for Fox\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Duterte said it was him who ordered the Australian nun to be investigated \u201cfor a disorderly conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0\u2013 Malacanang on Friday belied claims made by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) that Australian nun Patricia &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":160910,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1145,16,95],"tags":[49886,4154,31449,50027],"class_list":["post-160909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headline","category-news","category-news-ph","tag-australian-nun-patricia-fox","tag-palace","tag-presidential-spokesperson-harry-roque","tag-protest-rallies","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160909"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160909\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
