Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri signed the subpoena at the request of Sen. Risa Hontiveros - chair of the Senate committee on women, children, family relations and gender equality, which is leading the probe.
At the House of Representatives, Speaker Martin Romualdez and Parañaque Rep. Gus Tambunting also issued a subpoena ordering Quiboloy to personally appear before an inquiry on alleged violations of Sonshine Media Network International, a medium used by KOJC.
"Please be advised that failure to comply with this order will constrain the committee to resort to Section 11 of the Rules of Procedure governing inquiries in aid of legislation of the House on the power of contempt," they warned Quiboloy, noting that an order for immediate arrest might be issued against one who is cited in contempt.
Hontiveros issued a similar warning, urging Quiboloy to heed the subpoena and not underestimate the Senate, which “will not stop until the victims get justice and peace.”
During the Senate hearing yesterday, Bureau of Immigration legal division chief Arvin Cesar Santos gave assurance that Quiboloy is still in the country, despite reports that he has already left. He cited records that showed Quiboloy arriving in the country on July 22 last year. Santos added there is no record of him leaving the Philippines.
