Transcript

00:00 Senator Robin Padilla continues to spread rumors to stop the arrest of Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader, Apollo Quibuloy.

00:09 Daniel Manalasta has the details.

00:11 Senator Robin Hood Padilla has already been named to sign a petition to overturn Senator Riza Hondeveros' request

00:22 to have Pastor Apollo Quibuloy contempt because of his non-compliance with the Senate's left-right allegation against him.

01:00 But just a few hours ago, Senator JV Ejercito returned the signature.

01:05 According to the Senator, he signed an objection letter to stop Quibuloy's contempt.

01:12 Based on the letter, the Justice Department is now moving on the allegations against Quibuloy.

01:18 But after studying the testimonies and information, he decided to return the signature.

01:24 Padilla explained the reasons why he is preventing the contempt of the religious leader.

01:31 [Pastor Pablo Quibuloy]

01:56 When Padilla was asked if Quibuloy has any help for him during the 2022 Hathol Lambayan,

02:02 he said that prayer is very important.

02:08 He gave me an airtime during his summit in SMN.

02:13 I don't receive any payment.

02:16 During those times, no one helped me because I don't have money for the campaign.

02:23 I don't have money to pay for the helicopter.

02:26 I have money but I don't have money for my children. I don't have money to spend on politics.

02:32 He borrowed me his helicopter.

02:35 His money is more important than his friend.

02:38 He's not just a friend. He's my comrade.

02:42 We believe in one principle.

02:45 Padilla also reminded the Senators that he will not sign.

02:49 Senator Grace explained why he will not sign.

02:57 Senator Raffy Tulfo also explained.

03:01 Senator Cinthia Villar, one of the signatories, said that she has known Quibuloy for a long time.

03:06 She said that she's his friend for a long time but she didn't reach the point of having any help for the Hathol.

03:12 During the election, when their church has an affair, she invites me.

03:19 I don't need her during the election.

03:22 She's my friend, Pastor Quibuloy. She's kind to our family.

03:27 According to Senator Raffy Tulfo, who was warned by Padilla that he will not sign,

03:32 as a chairperson of various committees, he is just following the decision of Juntiveros.

03:37 And on the other hand, the members have the right to any committee that has a strong belief.

03:44 Padilla will not stop to convince the other members of the committee.

03:49 He needs the majority of Senators in the Senate Committee on Women

03:53 to sign and overturn the contempt order against Quibuloy.
