Escudero on Quiboloy: Court arrest order has priority over Senate summon
Published By admin with Comments 0
MANILA, Philippines — Arrest warrants issued by courts against Apollo Quiboloy will be prioritized over the Senate panel on women’s capture order against the fugitive televangelist, Senate President Chiz Escudero said on Monday.
“Kung titimbangin ang arrest warrant na inisyu ng korte at subpoena na inisyu ng Senado, malayong mas matimbang ang arrest warrant na inisyu ng husgado at korte,” Escudero told reporters in an ambush interview.
(If we weigh the arrest warrant issued by the court against the subpoena issued by the Senate, it is clear that the arrest warrant issued by the court weighs more.)
Davao and Pasig courts have separately issued arrest orders against Quiboloy for sexual abuse and human trafficking charges.
The Supreme Court, however, granted the Department of Justice’ bid to transfer Quiboloy’s sexual abuse case from a court in Davao to Quezon City to avoid miscarriage of justice.
Apart from these events, the Senate panel on women headed by Senator Risa Hontiveros is likewise seeking Quiboloy’s arrest.
