P10 M bounty vs Quiboloy hit
By J.Lo
“Such surprisingly disproportionate reward for Quiboloy creates prejudice in minds of people that he is more dangerous than those who commit murders and acts to topple government…war with presumption of innocence and endangers life of mere accused who has not yet been convicted,” lawyer of Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) founder and accused child abuser Apollo Quiboloy questioned “discriminatory” P10-million bounty for arrest of the preacher, saying “surprisingly disproportionate” reward endangers life of accused who has not yet been convicted.
Department of the Interior and Local Government announced P10-million reward for information that would lead to Quiboloy’s arrest and P1 million each for his five co-accused.
Quiboloy is subject of arrest warrants issued by Davao City and Pasig City regional trial courts where he is facing charges of qualified trafficking and sexual abuse allegedly committed against 17-year-old girl in 2011.
Lawyer Ferdinand Topacio noted average rewards for child sexual abuse and human trafficking suspects is “only a little over a million pesos,” even for members of Moro Islamic Liberation Front and declared terrorist organizations such as Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army.
He also questioned source of funds for the bounty, Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos earlier said consisted of private funds.
Topacio urged Abalos to name supposed donors of funds for the sake of transparency and invoked that constitutional right of the people to information regarding matters of public concern, so that public may know motives and purposes of supposed private individuals.
“This assault on dignity of Quiboloy is but latest in display of wantonness and disregard for rule of law of this administration,” lawyer said.
Topacio said Quiboloy cannot be blamed for refusing to submit to courts over his trafficking and sexual abuse cases, considering “harassment and persecution” by government.
“If person subject of warrant feels he cannot get fair and impartial justice under our present system of government under executive then, while I do not condone it, I will be last person to blame him for refusing to submit himself to justice system that is far from being fair,” Topacio said.
Quiboloy has denied allegations against him in courts in Davao City and in Pasig, claiming that these are recycled and came from disgruntled former members of KOJC.
In separate statement, Quiboloy’s lawyer Israelito Torreon also pointed out “obstinate and continuous obsession” of government against preacher.
Torreon said government “created circus” out of Quiboloy’s “precipitate and unjust” indictment, instead of acting on his motion for reconsideration filed before Department of Justice.
Case in Davao City has been allowed by Supreme Court to be transferred to Quezon City court.
Immigration lookout bulletin order has also been issued against Quiboloy to prevent him from fleeing the country.
Quiboloy, self-proclaimed “Appointed Son of God,” is currently considered fugitive as authorities try to locate him due to standing arrest warrants.
