EMBATTLED televangelist Apollo Quiboloy may challenge before the Supreme Court the arrest order issued by the Senate against him, according to one of his lawyers.
Senator Francis Escudero explained that the issuance of arrest order against Quiboloy was merely ministerial, adding that the KOJC leader could be discharged upon appearance at the Senate hearing, either personally or virtually. Balayan said that while they respect the decision of the Senate to issue an arrest order, Quiboloy would “exert all available legal remedies to protect his constitutional rights.”
But Hontiveros maintained that the proceedings were “not meant to determine Quiboloy’s guilt or innocence, but rather look at gaps in the laws.”
