The camp of Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy requested to extend his medical furlough due to a dental problem, his lawyer Atty. Israelito Torreon said on Friday.
“We requested for [an] extension of medical furlough because there are matters that have to be addressed too with respect to his dental operation, which affected his jaw. Merong infection po kasi yung kanyang dental implants,” he said in an ambush interview.
(There are matters that have to be addressed with respect to his dental operation which affected his jaw. His dental implants have an infection.)
“May opposition ang prosecution, so we have to address that today,” he added.
(The prosecution has opposition so we have to address that today.)
The continuation of hearing on Quiboloy’s human trafficking case is set at a Pasig City court on Friday.
Quiboloy, who is detained at the Philippine National Police (PNP) Custodial Center in Camp Crame in Quezon City, was brought to the Philippine Heart Center on November 8 after complaining about chest discomfort on November 7.
He returned to the detention facility on November 16.
A Pasig City court earlier dismissed the plea of the camp Quiboloy for a hospital arrest.
Quiboloy, a self-proclaimed “Son of God,” is currently facing a non-bailable qualified human trafficking charge under Section 4(a) of Republic Act No. 9208, as amended, before a Pasig court.
He is also facing charges under Section 5(b) and Section 10(a) of Republic Act 7610 or the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act.
