MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte “will execute the laws accordingly” amid the issues hounding his spiritual adviser Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ church, acting presidential spokesperson Karlo Nograles said on Tuesday.

During the Palace press briefing, Nograles was asked if Duterte would still continue supporting Quiboloy amid sex trafficking charges and whether or not the president would allow the religious figure’s extradition to the United States (US) if requested.

“As a lawyer and as a former prosecutor, and the chief executive of the country, he will execute the laws accordingly,” he answered.
