Youth grp slams Duterte’s defense of Quiboloy
By J.Lo
“It is both desperate and foolish that outrage against human rights violations came from Rodrigo Duterte, when he himself became biggest human rights violator during his administration!” Student Christian Movement of the Philippines (SCMP) national chairman Kej Andres said ecumenical youth group SCMP scoffed at former president Rodrigo Duterte’s condemnation of Philippine National Police’s serving of arrest warrant against controversial preacher Apollo Quiboloy.
“This only shows how it is convenient for the likes of former president Duterte to invoke human rights when his benefactor is being put into justice, as he himself made pronouncements against human rights and enacted ‘kill-kill-kill’ policy against thousands of innocents,” he stressed.
Duterte has been infamous for “implementing and instigating heinous policies resulted in human rights violations, including tokhang drug war, killed more than 30,000, as well as policies on red-tagging and counter-insurgency resulted in extrajudicial killings, warrantless arrests and vilification of activists and other innocent individuals, while it is true that this Marcos Jr. administration has its foul share of human rights violations, we will never forget how highlight of Duterte administration is also blatant human rights violations, especially against religious,” according to Andres.
SCMP leader gave long list of alleged attacks against church people under Duterte, including killings of Fr. Mark Ventura, Fr. Marcelito Paez, Pastor Lovelito Quiñones, Fr. Richmond Nilo, Neptali Morada, Putoy dela Cruz and Domingo Edo.
Those arrested included Pastor Dan San Andres, Mariel Domequil and Aldeem Yañez.
Andres also reminded that organizations such as Rural Missionaries of the Philippines, National Council of Churches in the Philippines, SCMP and other church leaders “have been red-tagged by both Quiboloy and state agents.”
In fact, “RMP and its key people were charged with terrorist-financing and have bank accounts frozen,” Andres said.
Former RMP head Sr. Patricia Fox was deported for being active on social causes in the Philippines.
Andres called on Quiboloy and Duterte to “surrender to authorities for crimes they have committed.”
“They have been weighed, and they have been found very much sinful against Filipino people,” Andres reiterated.
