SURIGAO DEL NORTE, Philippines – Randolph Balbarino, who used to be a follower of Surigao del Norte “cult” leader Jay Rence Quilario said on Saturday, October 14, that Socorro Bayanihan Services Incorporated (SBSI) prohibited members from seeking hospital care outside Sitio Kapihan in Socorro town, where the supposed cult is based.
This cult rule, Balbarino said, was the reason his child died around three to four days after he was born.
“Bawal sa ibang ospital. Ganon raw ang patakaran sa kanila kasi andito naman raw ang kanilang panginoon,” Balbarino said, referring to Quilario as the cult’s deity, as they believe their leader was a “reincarnation of Santo Niño (Child Jesus).”
(Seeking care from other hospitals are not allowed. That’s their rule because as they say their god is with them.)
