The House of Representatives has issued a subpoena to Kingdom of Jesus Christ pastor Apollo Quiboloy, compelling his attendance at a hearing scheduled for Tuesday (12 March 2024).
The hearing will investigate alleged violations by Swara Sug Media Corporation of its franchise, potentially leading to the possible revocation of the corporation’s license observers aver.
“Please be advised that failure to comply with this Order will necessitate the Committee to resort to Section 11 of the Rules of Procedure Governing Inquiries in Aid of Legislation of the House of Representatives, granting the power of contempt,” the subpoena addressed to Quiboloy read, signed by House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
On Monday, February 19, 2024, Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri signed the subpoena summoning Quiboloy to appear before the Senate regarding allegations of sexual abuse and human trafficking next Monday (26 Feb 2024).
“By Authority of Section 17 of the Rules of Procedure Governing Inquiries in Aid of Legislation of the Senate, Republic of the Philippines, you are hereby commanded and required to appear before the Senate, then and there to testify under oath on what you know relative to the subject matter,” the Senate-issued subpoena read.
