Marcos says Quiboloy did not surrender but he was arrested
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. asserted that sect leader Apollo Quiboloy did not surrender but was arrested, as he was compelled to surface due to the approaching police.
Marcos explained that Quiboloy would not have appeared if the PNP had not aggressively pursued him.
The President clarified that a true surrender involves a wanted individual presenting themselves to official authority, which did not happen in Quiboloy's case.
Marcos acknowledged Quiboloy for displaying "a modicum of leadership" by finally resurfacing after his followers committed to sacrifice themselves for him.
