“Sobra na ang ginagawa ng gobyerno sa KJC, tama na!” supporters chant as they claim that other media outlets apart from the Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) are not “telling the truth” behind the raid in their Davao compound.
Over the weekend, around 2,000 members of the Philippine National Police raided the KJC compound in Buhangin District, Davao City to serve arrest warrants for Quiboloy.

Davao police are continuously searching the KJC compound and are “more than confident” that Quiboloy is still inside.
Also on Monday, Philippine National Police spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo said the entrance of the underground bunker of the KJC compound of embattled Pastor Apollo Quiboloy will likely be found soon.
Fajardo said the authorities’ ground-penetrating radar is detecting “signs of life” in an underground area spanning 20-30 meters.
