MANILA — Senator Risa Hontiveros holds the belief that Pastor Apollo Quiboloy of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ will soon face arrest by law enforcement agencies.
Hontiveros expressed this conviction following the issuance of a warrant for Quiboloy’s arrest by the Davao Regional Trial Court on charges of sexual abuse.
“The days of impunity for Apollo Quiboloy are numbered. Virtually all institutions in the Philippines are mobilizing to hold him accountable,” stated the lawmaker in a press release.
“I am confident that justice will prevail and Quiboloy will be apprehended,” she added.
Upon his arrest, Hontiveros mentioned that the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality anticipates his appearance in the forthcoming hearing.
“I also call on Quiboloy not to put up a fight. He has already taken numerous steps to evade his legal obligations. He should cooperate and address the accusations against him appropriately,” she remarked.
“If innocent, there’s no need to hide.”
