According to a report by RH Milky Rigonan, the scheduled visiting hours will be 9 a.m.–11 a.m. and 3 p.m.–5 p.m.
Based on the video obtained by DZRH News, Quiboloy's four-corner space consists of chairs and tables with air conditioners and water dispensers.
It can be recalled that on Tuesday, March 12, the House Committee on Legislative Franchises issued a citation in contempt against Quiboloy for his absence in the hearings into Sonshine Media Network International's alleged violation of its franchise.
Surigao del Sur Rep. Johnny Pimentel, who moved to cite Quiboloy in contempt, cited the controversial leader's refusal to obey the summons without a legal excuse and acting disrespectfully as grounds under Section 11 of the House rules.
"The fact that he has not been appearing in these hearings, in this committee, just shows that he has no respect for this committee. It just shows that he acts like God. He acts with impunity. He takes this hearing for granted. Ipinagwawalang bahala niya. Importante po siya dito," Pimentel said.
The House invited Quiboloy to a committee hearing held on December 5–11, 2023, and February 7, 2024, which he did not attend.
SMNI's franchise violations include failing to provide fair and balanced information to its audience and transferring its shares without prior consent from Congress.
The panel also approved House Bill 9710, which seeks to revoke SMNI's franchise.
