Congress to Quiboloy: Come out of hiding
The Philippine Star
|February 24, 2024
Lawmakers yesterday called on Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader Apollo Quiboloy to come out of hiding and attend the congressional probes on alleged sexual abuses in his group and franchise violations of his broadcast network.
At a virtual press briefing yesterday, Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian advised the sect leader to participate in the congressional inquiries lest he be perceived as guilty.
"He should not hide, because that is a sign of guilt. The best way is to respect the process and answer the allegations before the Senate. We are not a court to render a decision," Gatchalian said.
He said Quiboloy should be physically and not just virtually present so he could have the chance to respond directly to the serious allegations against him.
"He should not be afraid of the Senate," Gatchalian said. "If he hides, the Senate and the House will be forced to coordinate with the Philippine National Police to locate him," he added.
