English: Earlier, Padilla wrote Hontiveros asking for consideration for Quiboloy, saying a witness or resource person who fails or refuses to appear before the Senate may be cited for contempt only after it has been determined that such failure or refusal is unreasonable or unwarranted - and this aligns with no less than the 1987 Constitution.
Filipino: Bago nito, nagsulat ng liham si Padilla kay Hontiveros na humihingi ng konsiderasyon para kay Quiboloy. Aniya, ang testigo o resource person na hindi o tumangging humarap sa Senado ay maaaring ma-cite in contempt kung matiyak na ito ay wala sa katwiran - at ito ay ayon sa ating Saligang Batas.
