MANILA, Philippines — Contrary to earlier reports, the Davao court did not order the Philippine National Police (PNP) to stop its search inside the compound of Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) to look for embattled Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, according to Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr.
“Walang sinasabi dito na pinapahinto ang operation, tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang police operations para hanapin si Pastor Quiboloy,” Abalos told reporters in a phone interview on Tuesday.
(It doesn’t say here that the operation is being stopped, our police operation will continue to search for Pastor Quiboloy.)
SMNI, a network affiliated with KJC, said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that the PNP are ordered by the court “to leave premises at once.”
On Saturday, around 2,000 members of the PNP raided the 30-hectare KJC compound.
Quiboloy is believed to be hiding inside the KJC compound, according to Davao police regional office director Brig. Gen. Nicolas Torre III.
