Dela Rosa questions PNP operation vs Quiboloy, appeals to Marcos
Senators Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa and Christopher Lawrence "Bong" Go have appealed to President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. to intervene in the ongoing implementation of the arrest warrant against Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
The senators expressed concern over the manner in which the Philippine National Police (PNP) has been serving the arrest warrant, particularly their continued presence at KOJC premises since August 24.
Senator Dela Rosa, in a privileged speech, urged President Marcos Jr. to consider the plight of thousands of Filipinos associated with KOJC amidst the PNP's focus on detecting a heartbeat using ground-penetrating radars within the compound.
Dela Rosa emphasized the need to listen to the "heartbeat of thousands of Filipinos" and ensure their voices are not ignored during the operation.
He also highlighted that members of the KOJC are being deprived of their religious freedoms and that thousands of students and their parents are grappling with the disruption of their education due to the operation.
