DILG stands firm on Quiboloy arrest warrant with P10-M bounty
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) affirmed that the issuance of arrest warrants and the P10 million reward for Pastor Apollo Quiboloy are justified to compel him to face accusations of sexual abuse and exploitation of minors.
The DILG emphasized their commitment to justice and protecting the rights of women and children, vowing to disallow injustices.
This stance was reiterated following a heated argument during a Senate hearing between KOJC legal counsel Atty. Israelito Torreon and Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr.
The KOJC legal counsel questioned the legality and appropriateness of the reward, arguing that Quiboloy has not yet been convicted of any crime.
