A good development.
That's how Deputy Minority leader and ACT Teachers party-list Rep. France Castro described the developments in the stateside cases against Kingdom of Jesus Christ, The Name Above Every Name (KOJC) church leader, Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
On Saturday, Dec. 10., t was reported that the United States (US) Treasury Department blocked all property and interests in property of Quiboloy that are in the US or in the possession or control of US persons.
"This is a good development and we hope that this would serve as a signal to local authorities to also look into the illegal activities of Pastor Quiboloy here. Wala dapat sacred cow dito (There shouldn't be any sacred cows here)," said Castro, a member of the Makabayan bloc.
"The franchise of Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) should also be looked in to as it serves as a mouthpiece for Quiboloy who is wanted for child rape," she added.
"This is good news during Human Rights Day and we hope that other human rights violators would be hold to account in the coming days," Castro further said.
She noted that the Armed Forces of the Philippines' (AFP) agreement with SMNI should also be reconsidered, based on the allegations against Quiboloy.
The televangelist is currently on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Wanted List for his alleged involvement in serious human rights abuses, including sex trafficking and physical abuse.
