Marcos: No special treatment for Quiboloy

On Monday, President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. stated that there would be no special treatment for Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) founder Apollo Quiboloy despite his prominence.

Marcos emphasized that Quiboloy will be treated like any other arrested individual and assured that his rights will be respected, even though some may suggest giving him special treatment.

According to Marcos, the executive branch's duty is now over with Quiboloy's arrest, and it is up to the judiciary to handle the charges against him.

Quiboloy faces charges under Republic Act 7610 for child abuse and exploitation, as well as non-bailable qualified human trafficking charges before a Pasig court in the Philippines.

Additionally, he has been indicted in the US District Court for conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion, among other charges, though Quiboloy denies all allegations.

Marcos also noted that the government will ensure the judicial process against Quiboloy is transparent and held accountable, demonstrating the efficiency of the Philippine judicial system.
