According to National Public Radio Organization, an American news agency Pastor
Apollo Carreon Quiboloy faces numerous allegations of trafficking and child
abuse. He’s also on the FBI’s Most Wanted List. A massive police and military
force was used to hunt for Quiboloy at the sprawling compound of his church,
Kingdom of Jesus Christ, in an operation that began on Aug. 24. Hundreds of the
pastor’s supporters formed human barricades to block search attempts. Suspecting
a network of underground bunkers, authorities deployed sensing machines used
after earthquakes to detect signs of activity underground. Aside from being
wanted by the Philippine Government, Quiboloy is also wanted by the FBI for the
same crime of Trafficking in persons Particularly Sex Trafficking of Adults and
Children. The allegations against Quiboloy and his church, involving labor
trafficking and exploitation of members, are deeply disturbing. If true, these
actions represent a gross violation of human rights and abuse of religious
authority. Exploiting individuals under the guise of faith, using fraudulently
obtained visas, and forcing people into servitude or even sham marriages exposes
a broader issue of power manipulation within certain religious organizations. The
added layer of sexual exploitation, especially under the pretext of religious duty,
reflects a predatory culture that demands immediate legal intervention. This case
not only highlights the vulnerability of followers in such structures but also calls
for greater scrutiny and accountability to protect people from similar abuses in the
future. Such revelations can erode trust in faith-based organizations, undermining
the legitimate work of religious groups committed to serving communities
without exploitation.
