, after her answers failed to satisfy lawmakers who were looking into her ties with the raided Philippine offshore gaming operator facility in Porac, Pampanga. Ronelyn Baterna will be under the custody of the lower chamber for the next 30 days, after the committee on games and amusement and the committee on public order and safety jointly cited her in contempt on Wednesday, August 7.
Baterna insisted that she was just a mere employee — a receptionist in 2019 — who was asked by an HR officer from the company to be the corporate secretary in 2022. She said she viewed it as a promotion, with a pay bump from P17,000 to P23,000 per month.“It doesn’t make sense that you would sign documents from the SEC and Pagcor . You would think: what am I signing?” Santa Rosa, Laguna Representative Dan Fernandez told her.
Baterna also said she contacted a lawyer to represent her, but admitted later in the six-hour hearing that a lawyer representing the company reached out to her.“The resource persons are making us look stupid. If that is really the lawyer , then how much did you pay her? Do you have the capacity to pay her professional fee?” Bulacan 2nd District Representative Augustina Pancho said.Wednesday’s session is the second time the two committees convened to probe criminal activities related to POGOs.
