While hiding from Congress, Quiboloy hurls conspiracies on social mediaMANILA, Philippines — Members of the Senate and the House of Representatives have threatened to arrest and cite in contempt pastor Apollo Quiboloy for evading their summons to separate committee investigations on his actions as the leader of a megachurch and founder of television network SMNI. Escaping subpoena orderBoth the House and the Senate issued subpoena orders against Quiboloy last week — a legitimate power that lawmakers can use to compel witnesses and key figures to show up to Congress as part of an investigation of an issue. In November 2023, the Senate issued a subpoena against three executives of a POGO company accused of engaging in illegal activities. “What I’m asking from you is to adhere to the legal process, and part of the process is the Senate investigation,” Hontiveros said in Filipino. “Don’t escalate this into a language of killing, even if that’s what you have been used to,” Hontiveros added.
