MANILA, Philippines – Senate President Chiz Escudero on Thursday hit the PNP officials for their failure to arrest fugitive televangelist Apollo Quiboloy. Quiboloy’s continuous freedom against a standing arrest warrant is nothing short of a “slap in the face.”
“Medyo nakakahiya na ang Philippine National Police dahil isa ito sa mga major na kaso na alam ng buong ng bansa at medyo sampal na sa kanila na hanggang ngayon ay hindi nila maipatupad yung warrant of arrest laban sa apat na tao dahil nakuha na yata yung isa,” Escudero said over Radyo 630.
Quiboloy and five others were ordered arrested by Davao City and Pasig City courts for sexual abuse and qualified human trafficking charges.
Only one of the six accused was arrested. Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos presented Pauleen Canada to the media. She was arrested in Davao City last July 11.
“Ang tanong ko, hinahanap ba talaga? Meron ba talagang galaw, hakbang at seryosong paghahanap dahil bakit sya nakuha sa bahay nya, na parang normal naman ang buhay?” Escudero asked.
“At kung seguridad ni Pastor ang kini-question nila e ‘di paano na lang kung bawat may warrant of arrest ay sasabihin e magpapakita lang ako ‘pag sigurado na ligtas ako. Mahirap ipatupad na ang ating justice system sa bansa kung mangyayari po yan,” he said.
