Davao top cop expects no resistance from Quiboloy’s followers

The top cop of Davao Region expects no resistance from the supporters of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy in the implementation of the Senate’s arrest warrant against the leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

“We are ready for any eventuality, but I believe the peaceful citizens of Davao at ang mga follower ni [and the followers of] Pastor Quiboloy will remain calm and behaved,” Police Brigadier General Alden Delvo, Regional Director of Police Regional Office 11, told GMA Integrated News in a phone interview on Thursday.

Two days after the arrest order was released, the Senate Sergeant-At-Arms has yet to coordinate with the Davao police, Delvo said.

“Hinihintay namin ang [We are waiting for the] official transmittal from the Senate through the Sergeant-at-Arms with regards to the warrant of arrest of Pastor Quiboloy,” according to Delvo.

“The PNP will just be assisting them ‘pag dumating na sila dito sa [if they arrive here in] Davao, according to Delvo, adding that only a small police team will be deployed to provide assistance to the Senate enforcers.

The Senate issued the warrant of arrest in response to Quiboloy’s continued refusal to appear before a committee probe on his alleged involvement in illegal activities.

“Yung hope ko is for Pastor Quiboloy to submit himself to the Senate and the inquiry nang matapos na ang issue,” Delvo said.
