I have no love lost for Apollo Quiboloy. I don't like him as an uber wealthy evangelist. I think he's arrogant, bordering on the insincere. His words sound preachy at best.
And the charges against him? Competent courts should determine his guilt or innocence, which is really more than I can say of all this brouhaha over his capture. Isn't this supposed to be a simple police procedural matter, to be enforced with minimal warm bodies sans the limelight?

There is a time to be silent. And a time to speak up.
When the very institutions and people mandated to protect us are the very same ones that bend and break our laws with shameless impunity and who have made it clear to us that our country is no longer a country ruled by laws but by the whims and caprices of powerful abusers, then the time to be silent is over.
Silence means we are complicit in these great crimes perpetrated on us as a nation.
It’s getting obvious.
Haven’t you noticed how some self-styled experts are raising hell over supposed errors in the book “Isang Kaibigan” written by Vice-President Inday Sara Duterte? They who have been consistently silent all this time on the revelations of the drug use of President Bongbong Marcos?
Vice President Sara Duterte on Tuesday said that while political separation is inevitable, respect and civility should always prevail.
“Ang hindi ko nagugustuhan ay iyong pambabastos. Pwede naman tayo maghiwalay sa pulitika, wag lang iyong maging bastos (What I don't like is profanity. We can separate from politics, just don't be rude)," Duterte added.
