Davao City court has jurisdiction to issue TPO for KOJC – veteran lawyer
The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced its intention to file a case against Davao City RTC Judge Mario C. Duaves for issuing a temporary protection order (TPO).
The TPO was issued by Judge Duaves, preventing the Philippine National Police (PNP) from threatening the safety of Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) officials and members.
DOJ Secretary Jesus Crispin C. Remulla argued that the Davao City RTC had lost its jurisdiction over the case involving Apollo Quiboloy after the Supreme Court granted the DOJ's petition to transfer the case to Metro Manila.
However, a veteran lawyer, Caesar Europa, stated that the Davao City court still has jurisdiction to issue the TPO.
Europa clarified that the TPO did not stop the PNP from implementing arrest warrants against Quiboloy and other accused.
He added that Judge Duaves issued a Supplemental and Clarificatory Order specifically stating that the TPO did not nullify or cancel processes related to arrest warrants.
