Philippine Police Continue Search for Apollo Quiboloy

The Philippine National Police (PNP) are intensifying their search for Apollo Quiboloy, a fugitive televangelist facing serious charges including child abuse and human trafficking. Quiboloy, who claims to be the 'appointed Son of God', is believed to be hiding in an underground bunker within his sprawling 74-acre Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound, where he has maintained a significant following. Tensions have escalated, with police using tear gas against Quiboloy's followers during protests and at least one supporter reportedly dying during the clashes. Former President Rodrigo Duterte criticized the police's actions, alleging political harassment against church members, while Quiboloy's legal team considers filing a human rights complaint. Despite a temporary protection order from a regional court halting police operations at the compound, authorities vow to continue their search until Quiboloy is in custody. He is also on the FBI's Most Wanted list for similar offenses, amplifying the urgency of the situation.
