Quiboloy’s arrest a victory for his victims, says House leader
House of Representatives leaders hailed the arrest of Apollo Quiboloy, founder of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, as a significant development and a victory for victims in the campaign against human trafficking.
Reps. Dan Fernandez, Bienvenido Abante Jr., and Robert Ace Barbers emphasized the need for a comprehensive investigation and prosecution to hold Quiboloy accountable for alleged crimes, including child abuse, sexual abuse, and human trafficking, stating his influence should not shield him from justice.
House Deputy Majority Leader Jude Acidre underscored that the issue is about the victims, particularly those trafficked and minors sent abroad.
Acidre commended the Philippine National Police for their difficult operation in arresting Quiboloy at the KOJC compound in Davao City, noting the likely hostile environment but their adherence to the rule of law.
