AQ alleged gifting of KOJC women to Duterte, others prfobe
By Nidz Godino
"We are now in the process of documenting all these allegations and revelations and we're ready to file cases against anyone who may have violated law, regardless of whoever he is," Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo said at briefing in Camp Crame PNP is investigating reports that Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Apollo Quiboloy gifted women from his congregation to former President Rodrigo Duterte and other officials.
Fajardo said they are looking into revelation of former KOJC worker Arlene Stone Quiboloy offered women who were members of his "pastoral" or inner circle to people close to him, including Duterte.
Stone is now spokesperson for former KOJC members residing in United States.
Asked if Duterte and other officials who received women as gifts from Quiboloy could be held liable, Fajardo said investigators should coordinate first with alleged victims and secure from them sworn statements for purposes of filing more criminal cases against Quiboloy and other personalities.
Fajardo said allegation, if proven true, is serious as this would fall under qualified human trafficking , non-bailable offense.
Asked if there is already move to reach out to Duterte, Fajardo has no information from their people on the ground.
"All our efforts right now will depend on information coming from victims," she said.
Quiboloy, self-styled preacher who calls himself "appointed son of God," is detained at Camp Crame custodial center on charges of qualified human trafficking and child abuse filed before Pasig City and Quezon City courts.
In text message to reporters, office of Sen. Risa Hontiveros, chair of the Senate committee on women, children and family affairs, is preparing public hearings on alleged sexual abuse cases against Quiboloy. Date of hearing has yet to be determined.
Hontiveros earlier told Quiboloy that he could not outrun law after he was taken into police custody on September 8.
"You will be held responsible, Apollo Quiboloy…you cannot outrun the law…you will not further delay justice, justice is within reach of victim-survivors, thanks to their courage to tell the truth" Hontiveros said, addressing Quiboloy after his arrest at KOJC compound in Davao City.
