MANILA — Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri said that the Senate would still give another chance to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) to attend hearing before being arrested after ignoring the summons of the upper house.
“Kausapin ko muna si Senator Risa (Hontiveros) kasi, naglabas na ng ruling ang Supreme Court sa Pharmally issue regarding the indirect contempt. So, under the ruling of the Supreme Court, we must exhaust all legal avenues. In other words, due process,” Zubiri said.
“So, ang request ko kay Senator Risa, all she has to do is to come up with another committee hearing. Maybe today or tomorrow or Monday, to give a show cause order,” he added.
Quiboloy has never attended any hearing conducted by the Senate.
Earlier, the Senate issued a subpoena against Quiboloy for not attending the legislative inquiry on the alleged child abuse and human trafficking case of the pastor.
According to Hontivero’s camp, the senator is scheduled to discuss the matter with Zubiri.
