MANILA — Senator Imee Marcos expressed profound sadness regarding the recent developments involving Kingdom of Jesus Christ Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, emphasizing his perceived benevolence despite the controversy.
“Lungkot na lungkot ako sa mga pangyayari tungkol sa SMNI at kay Pastor Quiboloy. Mabait siya sa atin at higit sa lahat tumutulong sa napakarami kaya’t malungkot ako na nauwi sa ganito at sana naisaayos na lamang ito nang mas mapayapa at mas tahimik na pamamaraan,” Marcos conveyed.
The Senate has issued a subpoena against Quiboloy, compelling his attendance in the investigation regarding alleged child abuse and human trafficking.
Earlier, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. urged Quiboloy to participate in the legislative inquiry.
“I would just advise him that, just, kung mayroon naman siyang sasabihin, if … he has an opportunity in the hearings both in the House (of Representatives) and the Senate to say his side of the story. Kaya po sinasabi niya, hindi totoo lahat ‘yan, hindi totoo, walang nangyayaring ganiyan, ‘di sabihin niya,” Marcos stated.
