MANILA -- The Pasig City Regional Trial Court Branch 159 has issued a show cause order against Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and lawyer Israelito Torreon.

In an order dated February 12, 2025, Acting Presiding Judge Rainelda Estacio-Montesa said her court  received information that a pre-recorded video was aired on February 9, 2025 at a gathering and prayer service of the members of the KOJC.

Quiboloy is running for senator while being currently detained at the Pasig City Jail for qualified human trafficking and child and sexual abuse cases.

A video of the detained church leader was also shown during the February 11 kick-off rally for his senatorial campaign at the Ynares Sports Stadium in Pasig City.

The court noted that the video was also posted on the SMNI News Facebook page on February 10, 2025.

"Accordingly, Atty. Israelito Torreon and accused Apollo C. Quiboloy are directed to SHOW CAUSE within five (5) days from receipt of this Order why the aforesaid video was aired on February 9, 2025 before the Court had the opportunity to review and approve the same, and posted on SMNI News Facebook Page, without a court approval, in clear violation of the guidelines and parameters set by this Court," Judge Estacio Montesa said.

Quiboloy, in an over 20-minute video shown during the tailend of the proclamation rally, said he wanted to correct the wrongs of the current administration. He also claimed that his senatorial campaign is "God's mission" for him.

"Ako ay binigyan ng direksyon ng Diyos na by force of circumstance, ako ay pumasok sa larangan ng pulitika na kalooban ng Diyos na kung tayo ay pagpapalain dito, dadalhin natin ang mga prinsipyo ng kaharian," said Quiboloy.

Last Thursday, Quiboloy returned to the Pasig City Jail Male Dormitory after receiving treatment for pneumonia.
