Quiboloy’s conditions before facing charges are ‘immaterial,’ says Marcos
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. dismissed the conditions set by fugitive televangelist Apollo Quiboloy's camp as "immaterial," stating that the matter of arrest is no longer under the Executive Department's purview.
Quiboloy's camp has demanded written guarantees from Marcos that he will not be extradited to the United States, where he faces serious charges.
Marcos clarified that once a court issues a warrant of arrest, the process is handled by the judiciary, and the executive branch's role is limited to implementing the warrant.
Justice Undersecretary Raul Vasquez previously stated that the Philippine government cannot guarantee Quiboloy would not be turned over to the US.
Marcos had previously described Quiboloy's demands as a "tail wagging the dog" situation and assured fair proceedings in April.
