Marcos agrees to AFP involvement in Quiboloy's surrender

On Monday, President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. revealed that Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) founder Pastor Apollo Quiboloy had specifically requested the presence of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) during his surrender on Sunday, September 8.

Quiboloy expressed a lack of trust in the police and hoped for the AFP to be involved in his apprehension because he did not trust the police.

Marcos agreed to Quiboloy's request and directed law enforcers to proceed with the operation, sending a C-130 aircraft to transport him from Davao City to Manila.

The President emphasized that while it was primarily a police-led operation, the AFP provided augmentation support during the 16-day search in the KJC compound.

Marcos congratulated the Philippine National Police (PNP) and other agencies involved in the successful apprehension of Quiboloy, praising their persistent efforts.
