Solons: those who hid Quiboloy may be held criminally liable
Davao's political triumvirate, composed of former President Rodrigo Duterte, Vice President Sara Duterte, and Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa, may face legal repercussions for allegedly aiding fugitive Pastor Apollo Quiboloy in evading arrest.
Assistant Minority Leader Rodge Gutierrez expressed that if the three leaders had prior knowledge of Quiboloy's whereabouts and intentionally concealed him, they could be held criminally liable.
Gutierrez stated that the determination of probable cause and the filing of appropriate cases would be handled by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Former President Duterte acted as the administrator of the KOJC compound where Quiboloy was eventually apprehended after evading authorities for two weeks.
Allegations against Vice President Duterte and Senator dela Rosa suggest they may have diverted law enforcement's attention from Quiboloy's location, with the Vice President notably claiming Quiboloy had already left the country prior to his surrender.
