MANILA — Senator Risa Hontiveros warned Kingdom of Jesus Christ Pastor Apollo Quiboloy on Wednesday (21 Feb 2024) of possible arrest if he would not attend the Senate hearing on alleged sexual abuse and human trafficking issue.
“‘Wag pong pa-victim. Ang hinihingi lang sa inyo ay humarap sa mga legal na proseso, kasama ang proseso ng Senate investigation. ‘Wag ninyo pong dalhin sa lenggwahe ng patayan, kahit ‘yan ang nakasanayan ninyo,” Hontiveros said.
“Our next hearing is on March 5 and if Mr. Quiboloy does not show up, I will cite him in contempt and have him arrested,” she added.
On Tuesday night, the Senate filed a subpoena against Quiboloy to attend the March 5 hearing.
Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri and Hontiveros signed the said subpoena.
