SUBPOENA has been issued by the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality on Tuesday against Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy for skipping its probe against various charges of the religious group.
“Dahil nakapagpadala po ng dalawang imbitasyon, one by LBC and one by registered mail, pero walang sagot at attendance ni Pastor Quiboloy, the chair would move to subpoena Pastor Apollo Carreon Quiboloy for the next hearing of this committee,” Senator Risa Hontiveros, who leads the Senate probe, said.
According to Hontiveros, Quiboloy has sent a letter to Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri. She did not provide the details but said the letter was “admitted” for the record of the Senate committee.
KOJC has been linked to cases of large-scale human trafficking, rape, sexual abuse and violence, and child abuse.
Hontiveros, meanwhile, ordered the issuance of invitations to three more individuals who were mentioned in the victims’ testimonies during the investigation.
