00:00The Commission on Elections junks the petition to disqualify arrested doomsday preacher Apollo
00:05Kibuloy from running for the 2025 senatorial elections.
00:09Kamalek finds the grounds for disqualification to be incorrect and without factual and legal
00:14basis.
00:15Kibuloy faces sexual and child abuse and qualified trafficking charges and was arrested in September
00:20after months of evasion and violence.
00:22He is also in the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation's most-wanted list for sex trafficking of children
00:27and promotional money laundering.
00:29But Kamalek says Kibuloy's ongoing legal challenges do not merit disqualification without a final
00:35decision.
00:36Kibuloy filed his COC through a representative in October.
