The United States asks the Philippines to extradite Apollo Carreon Quiboloy, a prominent Filipino religious leader, according to multiple reports. Quiboloy leads the Kingdom of Jesus Christ church, which was founded in 1985 in Davao and has branches in the United States. The US government accuses Quiboloy of fraud and sex crimes. One report describes him as one of the most influential religious figures in the Philippines and characterizes him as a political kingmaker, reflecting his public prominence and connections within the country’s political landscape. The requests seek to move the case to US authorities, where prosecutors intend to pursue the allegations. The reports do not indicate the status of any Philippine court proceedings or provide details on evidence, specific charges, or dates of alleged misconduct. The church’s US presence and Quiboloy’s role in Filipino religious and public life are central elements cited in describing why the case involves both countries.
