The roasted chicken brand Chooks-to-Go released an apology letter after receiving criticism from the members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) after the company’s page used Pastor Apollo Quiboloy as a subject in one of its advertisements.
In their explanation, the company said that their marketing team did not approve the advertisement, which showed an edited photo of Quiboloy that was originally taken during one of the press conferences attended by the pastor.
One of Quiboloy’s lawyers, Atty. Mark Tolentino already warned the company on the possible charges they may face.
“We acknowledge that a recent social media post has caused concern among some in the community. This content does not reflect the views and values of the Company and its management. It was created by our consulting social marketing team during a leadership transition following the retirement of our President and was uploaded without full management’s consent or approval,” the company stated.
“Regardless, we take responsibility and apologize to the offended members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ and Pastor Quiboloy. It was not our intention to upset or hurt anyone,” they added.
The apology received mixed reactions from the netizens.
