Harry Roque at March 8, 2021 briefing
Before he became President Rodrigo Duterte's spokesperson, Harry Roque was known as a human rights lawyer who took on high-profile cases such as the Jennifer Laude killing and the Maguindanao Massacre, and co-founded the non-profit Center for International Law (CenterLaw). 
Roque left CenterLaw when he was elected to the House of Representatives in 2016, and left the House a year later to become Duterte's spokesperson.
In his tenure as the mouthpiece for Malacañang, Roque has found himself defending Duterte, a job that has often seen him go against policies that he himself had previously worked to establish, as a human rights lawyer and advocate.
