Court orders Quiboloy to explain unauthorized campaign video
Pasig City Regional Trial Court Branch 159 has issued a show cause order against Apollo Quiboloy and his lawyer Israelito Torreon.
They are required to explain within five days why a pre-recorded video of Quiboloy was aired during a Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) gathering on February 9, 2025, and posted on SMNI's Facebook page on February 10, 2025, without court approval.
The court stated that this action was a violation of guidelines as the video was disseminated before the court had the opportunity to review and approve it.
This video was also shown during the kick-off rally for Quiboloy's senatorial campaign on February 11, 2025.
Torreon claimed the court had allowed Quiboloy to tape messages to his supporters on specific dates, but the court order indicates these were aired without prior review and approval.
Quiboloy is currently detained at the Pasig City Jail for qualified human trafficking and child and sexual abuse cases while running for senator.
