Senator to PNP: Ensure no officers influenced by Quiboloy
Senator Risa Hontiveros urged the Philippine National Police (PNP) to ensure that their manhunt for fugitive religious leader Apollo Quiboloy is free from the influence of Quiboloy himself or his allies, including former president Rodrigo Duterte.
Hontiveros' call comes after criticism of the police's alleged failure to arrest Quiboloy and his associates in Davao.
The senator specifically implored former President Duterte to stop protecting Quiboloy and instead assist in locating the fugitive preacher.
Hontiveros chairs the Senate committee that investigated the allegations against Quiboloy.
The long-standing friendship between Duterte and Quiboloy dates back to Duterte's time as Davao mayor, with Quiboloy serving as his spiritual adviser during his presidency.
