Quiboloy still in PH but it’s ‘getting smaller’ for him – Abalos

MANILA, Philippines — Fugitive televangelist Apollo Quiboloy is still in the Philippines but the country is “getting smaller ” for him, Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. said Friday.

Abalos’ remark came amid reports that the founder of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ already fled to China.

“There’s always that possibility,” Abalos said in a press conference. “Pero sa nakikita namin ngayon, nandyan lang ‘yan, nandito lang yan sa Pilipinas.”

(But based on what we see, he’s only somewhere here, he’s only here in the Philippines.)

“Lumiliit na ang Pilipinas para sa kanila,” the chief of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) added.

(The Philippines is getting smaller for them.)

Quiboloy has a P10-million bounty while each of his co-accused has a P1-million bounty on their heads.

One of the fugitives, Paulene Canada, was arrested Thursday, July 11. Abalos presented her to the media during the press conference on Friday.
