MANILA, Philippines — The entrance of the underground bunker of the compound of embattled Pastor Apollo Quiboloy is likely to be found soon, Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo said on Monday.
Fajardo said the authorities’ ground-penetrating radar is detecting “signs of life” in an underground area spanning 20-30 meters.
“Without giving specifics, that is now the focus of our search because our penetrating radar detects a sign of life inside a particular ground,” Fajardo said, speaking partly in Filipino, in a press conference in Camp Crame.
“We believe that we could soon detect the secret entrance and passageway,” she added.

Quiboloy is believed to be hiding inside the KOJC compound, according to Davao Police Regional Office director Brig. Gen. Nicolas Torre III.
