PIHADONG mas paghuhusayan pa ni Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder Pastor Apollo Quiboloy ang pagtatago matapos maglabas ng panibagong mandamiento de arresto ang Pasig City Regional Trial Court kaugnay ng kasong qualified human trafficking.
Walang inirekomendang piyansa ang husgado.
“After consideration of the arguments brought forth by the parties, the court finds the Motion to Defer/ Suspend Proceedings and Hold in Abeyance Issuance of Warrant of Arrest to be a prohibited motion and should therefore be DENIED,” saad sa resolusyon ng Pasig City RTC Branch 159.
Una nang hiniling ng kampo ng kontrobersyal na pastor sa korte ang pagpapaliban ng mga pagdinig sa kinakaharap na kaso hangga’t wala pang inilalabas na resolusyon ang Department of Justice.
Gayunpaman, nanindigan ang korte na hindi batayan ang kawalan ng posisyon ng DOJ para ipagpaliban ang paglalabas ng mandamiento de arresto, batay na rin sa Section 11, Rule 116 ng tinatawag na Rules of the Court.
“Clearly, from the foregoing, there is no basis for this court to suspend the proceedings by reason of the filing of a motion for reconsideration on the Resolution of the petition for review before the Department of Justice as this is not one of the grounds stated under Section 11, Rule 116 of the Rules on Criminal Procedure.”
“This court, after personally examining the information and its supporting document, finds probable cause for the arrest of all the accused. Let warrants of arrest be issued against them,” ayon sa kalatas ng Pasig RTC.
