IT is easy to dislike Pastor Apollo Quiboloy. After all, the very fact that he has appointed himself as the son of God on earth is already a nonstarter. But the beauty and stability of our democratic Republic rests on the principle that rights are accorded to all people regardless of their ridiculous and even offensive acts.

Even criminals are entitled to some rights. And those suspected of being criminals are accorded not only the right to due process but to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.The dispute in the Senate regarding the difference of opinion on whether Quiboloy should be cited for contempt and be detained for not presenting himself to the committee of Sen. Ana Theresia 'Risa' Hontiveros has once again put into question the right of the Senate to hold people in contempt.

In this case of Quiboloy, Senator Hontiveros should humor us with an enumeration of legal black holes where our legal system is prevented from prosecuting sexual and financial misconduct.
