Court to inspect Quiboloy sect’s properties in Davao, NCR
Published By admin
MANILA, Philippines — A Pasig City court has ordered the inspection of six properties, including two in the National Capital Region (NCR), belonging to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC), the sect founded by televangelist and alleged sex offender Apollo Quiboloy.
In a nine-page order on Friday in connection with the pastor’s human trafficking case, Acting Presiding Judge Redentor Cardenas of the Pasig Regional Trial Court (RTC)-Branch 159 granted the prosecution’s motion for an ocular inspection of the KOJC congregation building at Barangay Rosario in Pasig City, the KOJC compound at Barangay Sauyo, Quezon City, the sect’s 30-hectare compound in Davao City, and three specific buildings within that compound.
This is to help the court “obtain … a clearer and more accurate understanding of the[se] locations where the alleged offenses of qualified trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation and labor trafficking were purportedly committed,” the order said.
“Thus, to verify their accuracy and dismiss the ambiguity, the court finds it necessary to personally observe the premises,” it added.
‘Miracle workers’
The court also noted that KOJC’s sprawling property along Philippine-Japan Friendship Highway in Davao City had a dormitory which was identified as a recruitment center for the sect’s “miracle workers,” just like the properties in Quezon City and Pasig.
