MANILA, Philippines — The arrest order issued by the Senate against Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader Apollo Quiboloy is still in effect as the Supreme Court has yet to decide on the petition of the preacher asking the SC to stop the enforcement of the arrest.
Ting clarified that the SC, in asking the Senate to comment on the petition, did not deny the petition for a temporary restraining order .“All they want is to find out the side of the Senate regarding the issuance of the TRO,” she said. Quiboloy’s counsel argued the Senate inquiry violates the preacher’s constitutional rights to due process and against self-incrimination, adding that the proceedings “do not serve any legislative purpose” and that the Senate probe was tantamount to usurpation of judicial functions.
“While we have yet to receive and read the order, we certainly will comply with the directive of the SC, cognizant of the principle of separation of powers and with only the highest respect for our institutions,” she noted. “Quiboloy should accord due respect to the ruling of the Supreme Court and the processes of the Senate, as upheld by the SC,” he said.
