The legal team of Filipino religious leader Apollo Quiboloy on Thursday called on the Marcos administration to let Philippine courts decide on his criminal case before rendering a decision on the United States’ request for his extradition.
In a message to reporters, lawyer Israelito Torreon said the Quiboloy camp recognizes that under the extradition treaty between the two countries, “it is within the discretion of the requested state (Philippines) whether to allow Pastor ACQ to be extradited to the US whether the case against him is pending or has already been decided against him.”
