Apollo Quiboloy should face raps in PH first, Remulla says
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla stated that Apollo Quiboloy should face charges in the Philippines first before any extradition to the US.
Remulla emphasized that the Philippine government has the discretion to decide on extradition matters according to the treaty terms.
This stance follows Remulla's previous expectation of an imminent US extradition request for Quiboloy.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has confirmed that no extradition request from the US has been received yet.
Quiboloy faces qualified human trafficking and child abuse charges in the Philippines, while in the US, he is indicted for sex trafficking and other offenses.
