PNP: More people come forward vs Quiboloy

MANILA, Philippines —  It seems the legal woes of preacher Apollo Quiboloy are far from over after the Philippine National Police (PNP) uncovered more details of his alleged criminal activities, which included the systematic abuse of young women and girls as young as 12 years old.

PNP chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil said yesterday they have uncovered new and what he described as alarming details about Quiboloy’s activities.

Marbil revealed several of Quiboloy’s alleged victims have come forward and provided crucial information about the abuse of women under Quiboloy’s influence.

He said the victims, referred to as pastorals in the preacher’s Kingdom of Jesus Christ, were allegedly subjected to exploitation and manipulation.

“These courageous victims have spoken up, revealing their harrowing experiences. The abuse they endured shows an alarming pattern of manipulation and exploitation,” he said in a statement.

“These so-called ‘inner circle pastorals’ were particularly vulnerable, with victims as young as 12 years old. Their testimonies have been crucial in uncovering the full extent of Quiboloy’s alleged crimes,” Marbil said.

“This is just the beginning. The PNP is thoroughly examining the evidence to ensure that we build a solid case against Quiboloy. We will leave no stone unturned in this pursuit of justice,” Marbil emphasized.

The top cop urged other victims of Quiboloy to come forward, adding they would receive full protection and assistance.

Quiboloy’s legal counsel, Israelito Torreon, said he could not yet comment on the latest accusations as the PNP has yet to give clear details on the alleged sins of his client.

“I still believe that the PNP is composed of professional men and women and many within their ranks, if given the choice, would not supposedly allow an ongoing investigation to be enmeshed with too much publicity,” Torreon said.

The PNP has started preparations to ensure the safety and security of Quiboloy and his co-accused for their arraignment on Friday.

Based on the latest update they received from the Pasig City Regional Trial Court Branch 159, Quiboloy’s arraignment on charges of qualified human trafficking will proceed at 8:30 a.m.
