The SC asked the Senate to comment on the petition of Quiboloy that questioned the validity of the Senate order for his arrest for contempt, and asked for its nullification, according to SC spokesperson Camille Sue Mae Ting yesterday.
The SC gave the Senate 10 days upon receipt of notice to submit its comment.
"We are awaiting the comment of the respondents," Ting said in a press conference.
Named respondents in the petition were Sen. Risa Hontiveros, Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri and the Senate sergeant-at-arms.
Ting clarified that the SC, in asking the Senate to comment on the petition, did not deny the petition for a temporary restraining order (TRO).
With this, the Senate arrest warrant is "valid and outstanding." "All they [SC] want is to find out the side of the Senate regarding the issuance of the TRO," she said.
