“AR and Harry’s ‘working relationship’ is a cautionary tale about the dangers of mixing pageantry with politics and illegal gaming operations”
OKAY baroks, brace yourselves.
This story is like a reality TV show, but with less talent and more questionable decisions.
Our leading man? Alberto Rodulfo “AR” Dela Serna, the Mr. Supranational PH Winner, who’s gone from strutting on stage to strutting into Senate inquiries.
Imagine this: AR, a vision of pageantry perfection, now embroiled in the glamorous world of illegal offshore gaming operations. It’s like the plot twist nobody asked for.
So, AR finally breaks his silence about his “working relationship” with the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque.
You know, Harry – the guy who made a career out of defending the indefensible.
They met at a barangay project inauguration in Bohol. How quaint. It sounds like a rom-com, but instead of falling in love, they fall into a Senate hearing.
And what’s AR’s role in this scandalous affair?
Oh, just your average executive assistant living for free in a POGO hub while studying aviation.
Because nothing says “future pilot” like shacking up at an illegal gaming hub.
He claims he had no idea why he wasn’t being charged rent.
“Never naman ako siningil,” he says.
Right, AR, and I’ve never been charged for the air I breathe.
The audience laughs, Senator Hontiveros quips “Sana all!” and somewhere, the universe collectively facepalms.
Now, AR insists he knew nothing about the illegal activities at the POGO hub.
Sure, AR. And I’m the King of England. Roque, ever the helpful mentor, introduced AR to Cassandra Ong, who magically provided free lodging.
It’s like the fairy godmother of questionable real estate deals.
Roque’s name pops up in documents found at the raided POGO hub, naturally.
A travel authority document bearing his name supposedly helped poor AR travel to Europe for his “various illnesses” like diabetes.
Because nothing says “urgent medical necessity” like a European vacation.
Let’s acidly break this down: AR is a pageant king turned aviation student, living rent-free in a POGO hub, with connections to a former presidential spokesperson.
His honesty is about as believable as a politician’s campaign promises.
The logic here is watertight – if you’re going to get into a scandal, make sure it’s the most bizarre, poorly explained situation possible.
Recommendations? Let’s get real:
For AR: Maybe next time, try living in a place that isn’t the epicenter of illegal activities. Just a thought.
For Harry Roque: Perhaps vet your friends a bit better. Or at least stop signing documents that end up in illegal operations.
For the Senate: Keep the popcorn ready. This show is just getting started.
In the end, AR and Harry’s “working relationship” is a cautionary tale about the dangers of mixing pageantry with politics and illegal gaming operations.
It’s like trying to mix oil and water – or in this case, common sense and reality.
