MANILA — Senator Robin Padilla stated on Wednesday (20 March 2024) that his office has been strictly following the rules and procedures of the Senate to ensure the protection of the rights of Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
This statement comes in the wake of an arrest order being signed against Quiboloy by Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri.
“My office has diligently complied with all the rules and procedures of the Senate to safeguard the rights of Pastor Quiboloy. The committee chairman has made a decision, and Zubiri has taken action by issuing the warrant of arrest,” Padilla said.
“In my view, the legal recourse for Pastor Quiboloy is to bring this matter to the Supreme Court,” he added.
Zubiri signed the arrest order against Quiboloy on Tuesday (19 March 2024) after the pastor repeatedly failed to appear during the Senate’s inquiry into alleged cases of child abuse and human trafficking.
