ZUBIRI TO SIGN SUBPOENA AGAINST QUIBOLOY UPON HIS RETURN

By Liza Soriano

MANILA — Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri vowed on Friday (16 Feb 2024) that he would sign the subpoena for Pastor Apollo Quiboloy upon his return to the Senate.

This action is part of the ongoing probe against Quiboloy regarding alleged human trafficking and sexual abuse.

“I have been informed by my staff that the subpoena for Pastor Apollo Quiboloy has been prepared and is now ready for my signature. I am currently in the Visayas for several engagements, but I will sign all necessary documents upon my return,” Zubiri stated.

Meanwhile, Senator Risa Hontiveros expressed urgency, stating that they could not afford to wait for the subpoena.

“In the meantime, the committee cannot delay awaiting the subpoena. We will proceed with the hearing, especially since we have a second batch of witnesses,” Hontiveros emphasized.
