Remulla on Quiboloy house arrest: It's only given to those who don't resist arrest
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla stated that the court has the sole discretion to decide on televangelist Apollo Quiboloy's plea for house arrest.
Remulla noted that house arrest is typically granted to individuals who do not resist arrest or who immediately agree to be apprehended.
He further explained that those who go into hiding and cause difficulties for the government are rarely given house arrest privileges.
Quiboloy's camp has filed a motion requesting his transfer from the Philippine National Police custodial center to the custody of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, citing safety concerns.
The Department of National Defense has rejected this proposal.
Quiboloy, along with four other individuals, was arrested on Sunday within the Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound and is currently detained.
