Quiboloy camp in hot water
A Pasig court has ordered Apollo Quiboloy's legal team to explain why a pre-recorded video message from the detained televangelist was played for his supporters and posted online without prior court approval.
The Pasig Regional Trial Court Branch 159 stated that the video was aired on February 9 and posted on Facebook on February 10, which violated the court's established guidelines.
Quiboloy's camp has been given five days to provide an explanation to the court regarding the unauthorized release of the message.
This development comes amid accusations of VIP treatment for Quiboloy, with his lawyer, Israelito Torreon, asserting that the court had permitted him to send messages to supporters on specific dates, including February 9.
Torreon further claimed the video was part of Quiboloy's senatorial campaign and that the court had approved messages on February 9, 11, and 13.
Torreon also responded to accusations of VIP treatment, citing the presumption of innocence for Quiboloy, who is facing serious human trafficking and child abuse charges.
