NANGAKO si Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri na pipirmahan nito ang subpoena laban kay Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy na may kaugnayan sa ginawang imbestigasyon ng Senado sa umano’y human trafficking at sex-related crimes.
“I have been told by my staff that the issuance of the subpoena for Pastor Apollo Quiboloy has been prepared and is now ready for my signature. I am just in the Visayas at the moment for several engagements, but I will sign all these documents upon my return,” sabi ni Zubiri.
Nauna nang sinabi ni Senador Risa Hontiveros na nagbigay na ng pormal na liham kay Zubiri na humihiling sa pag-isyu ng subpoena laban kay Quiboloy. Hindi rin umano alam ni Hontiveros kung bakit nagtatagal ang pagpirma ni Zubiri. “In the meantime, hindi na kayang hintayin ng komite (Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality) ‘yung subpoena. Itutuloy po namin ‘yung pagdinig, lalo na mayroon kaming second batch of witnesses,” patuloy pa ni Hontiveros.
Sa kanyang panig, sinabi ni Zubiri na naging abala lamang siya sa mga huling kaganapan sa Kamara at Senado partikular ang inilulunsad na people’s initiative ng Kongreso.
“Apollo Quiboloy, who styles himself as the ‘Appointed Son of God and the leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ The Name Above Every Name (KOJC)’, allegedly demands strict obedience from his full-time followers through brainwashing, psychological manipulation and constant threats of eternal damnation,” ayon sa resolusyon ni Hontiveros.
