Malaysians linked to KJC denied entry, deported for protest ties

Three Malaysian citizens claiming affiliation with Apollo Quiboloy's Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) were denied entry into the Philippines on August 27 after attempting to join an anti-government protest.

Jessica Lynn Henry, Mimielianna Annie Anak Leesoi, and Andrijosebaul Anak Garra arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport but were abandoned by their Filipino companions during immigration inspection.

BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco stated that foreigners have no right to interfere in the country's internal political affairs and can be expelled for violating immigration laws.

The Malaysians admitted they could not prove financial capacity to support their stay and showed mobile phone screenshots of anti-government slogans such as 'BBM Resign,' 'Stop KOJC Injustices,' and 'AFP/PNP Protect the People.'

They were placed on an immigration blacklist and deported back to Malaysia on August 28.
