DOJ to accept complaints against those who harbored Quiboloy
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is open to receiving new complaints against Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and those who allegedly aided or harbored him.
Justice Undersecretary Nicholas Ty confirmed that state prosecutors have nationwide jurisdiction to handle preliminary investigations for such cases.
Discussions have taken place with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) regarding the filing of these complaints.
Ty mentioned that new complainants have emerged from Davao, other regions of Mindanao, and those who contacted the DOJ head office.
The DOJ will evaluate these new complainants-witnesses to prevent infiltration by Quiboloy supporters.
He urged other victims and witnesses to come forward, assuring them of the DOJ's assistance, including through the Witness Protection Program (WPP).
Quiboloy faces charges of child abuse and trafficking in the Philippines, as well as sex trafficking charges in the United States.
The religious leader was detained at the Philippine National Police (PNP) custodial center at Camp Crame in Quezon City after his arrest on September 8.
