Go on with the investigation and pursue it until the end,\u201d Roque said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>This, after Caindec claimed that Roque\u2019s pronouncements were part of a \u201cwell-orchestrated act\u201d to pressure him to stop an ongoing LTO 7 probe against a group of motorcycle dealers allegedly involved in large-scale tax evasion.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy provigil online <a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsquarters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/png\/provigil.html\">https:\/\/doctorsquarters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/png\/provigil.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo this is my question.

I refused a bribe offer, which led to this extensive investigation. So if we\u2019re the only ones investigating, does that mean we\u2019re corrupt?\u201d Caindec said.<\/p>\n<p>He said if there is pressure from anyone, it is pressure allegedly coming from Roque to drop the local probe.<\/p>\n<p>Roque, however, prodded Caindec to push through with the probe, saying all public officials must have a common advocacy on good governance and zero tolerance against corruption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRD Caindec questioned my motive. It is clear as the sun rises in the East: I stand for good government and the Filipinos deserve no less,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Roque warned an LTO official from Visayas to \u201cshape up\u201d amid allegations of corruption involving dirty deals worth millions of pesos.<\/p>\n<p>Caindec later said he believed he was the one being alluded to.<\/p>\n<p>According to Roque, he was \u201csurprised\u201d that Caindec revealed himself and played the issue out in the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a statement made in good faith with the intent that the aforesaid official would \u2018shape up\u2019 and bring back effective and efficient delivery of service to his office,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy augmentin online <a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsquarters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/png\/augmentin.html\">https:\/\/doctorsquarters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/png\/augmentin.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Caindec questioned Roque\u2019s motives, claiming that the presidential spokesperson is a former associate of the lawyer of the dealers under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0\u2013 Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque on Wednesday urged Land Transportation Office (LTO) Region 7 Director Victor Caindec to proceed with &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":253412,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-269683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-news-ph","mauthors-azer-parrocha","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269683","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\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269683"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269683\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":287673,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269683\/revisions\/287673"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
