MANILA, Philippines — It will be best to let President Rodrigo Duterte speak for himself if Pastor Apollo Quiboloy will remain as his spiritual adviser amid the sex trafficking charges hounding the religious figure, acting presidential spokesperson Karlo Nograles said Friday.

Nograles made the remark after Duterte’s close ally and spiritual adviser Quiboloy was indicted for sex trafficking in the United States.

“We’ll wait for President’s statement regarding that. Bago pa lang itong development na ito. Hayaan na lang natin na magsalita si Pangulo tungkol dyan,” Nograles said in a press briefing when asked if Quiboloy will stay as Duterte’s spiritual adviser.
