Senator Robin Padilla issued another statement clarifying his position on the allegations against religious leader Apollo Quiboloy.
Padilla appealed to the Senate Committee on Women, Children, and Family Relations to issue a show cause order rather than a contempt order against the religious leader.
“Bilang pangwakas po, nais ko pong ihayag sa opisyal na rekord ang ating kahilingan: ang mabigyan po ng konsiderasyon ang hiling ni Pastor laban sa contempt order ng Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality, at mabigyan ng daan ang pagpapalabas pong Show Cause Order kay Pastor sa susunod na pagdinig,” said Padilla in his privilege speech.
“Isa po ang ating kahilingan para kay Pastor Apollo Quiboloy. Iyon ay ang mabigyan lamang naman natin, hindi po ng kapalit, kundi ng karampatang pagtrato ang naging serbisyo naman po ni Pastor sa ating bayan,” he added.
Padilla together with Senators Imee Marcos, Cynthia Villar, and Bong Go signed a resolution seeking to block the arrest warrant vs. Quiboloy.
Last week, Senator Risa Hontiveros cited Quiboloy in contempt for not attending the senate hearing into his supposed violations.
