Hontiveros made the statement after Quiboloy’s continued failure to appear before the Senate and courts. Quiboloy and his associates have been charged with child abuse and sexual abuse offenses, with cases filed in the Davao City court. The pastor is also facing a non-bailable human trafficking case before a Pasig City court.
“Instead of appearing in the Senate or the courts, he continuously recorded an audio message that seemed to insult the government’s ability to track him down. This is appalling. This should not be allowed to pass, but only challenge the government more to exhaust all means to restrict his movements,” Hontiveros said in Filipino.
In previous interviews, DFA spokesperson Teresita Daza said that when a passport is canceled, it is a “red flag for any application in all DFA consular offices within and outside the Philippines.”
