Quiboloy supporters block national highway in Davao, hold protest
A standoff occurred in Davao City where approximately 1,000 members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) blocked the national highway in Buhangin on Sunday evening, August 25.
The supporters used heavy equipment, a truck, and cars to occupy all lanes of the highway, causing passengers to walk to the Davao City International Airport.
During the 'prayer rally,' protesters expressed rage against law enforcers for raiding their compound on Saturday and called for the resignation of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.
They also aired their support for the family of former President Rodrigo Duterte, of whom Quiboloy was a spiritual adviser.
Police Regional Office XI director Brigadier General Nicolas Torre III urged the KOJC members to clear some lanes to allow motorists to pass.
This standoff happened after law enforcement attempted to serve arrest warrants for child abuse and human trafficking against Quiboloy and his associates.
