Senator Robinhood Padilla has appealed to the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality to stop compelling Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader Apollo Quiboloy to appear in the panel’s inquiry once the Department of Justice starts its own legal proceedings.
Padilla made the formal request in a letter to Senator Risa Hontiveros, chairperson of the Senate panel, dated March 11 – a copy of which was shared with reporters.Padilla mentioned the DOJ’s order to direct the filing of criminal cases against Quiboloy last March 4. During last week’s hearing of the panel, Hontiveros cited Quiboloy in contempt after the controversial televangelist repeatedly ignored the subpoena issued by the Senate for him to appear at the inquiry.Under Section 18 of the Rules of Procedures Governing Inquiries in Aid of Legislation, “a majority of all the members may… reverse or modify the aforesaid order of contempt within seven days.”
On Tuesday, Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri said a show cause order must first be served on Quiboloy before he could sign a contempt order against the KOJC head. “There has to be some kind of decent answer from Quiboloy. So now, he has been embarking on hiding, giving comments which cannot be understood and imposing conditions unlike any person invited in the Senate,” said Hontiveros.
