The Philippines government says it will make a decision within a “couple of weeks” on the United States’ request to extradite detained religious leader and alleged sex trafficker Apollo Quiboloy.
Malacañang says President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has already been informed of the extradition request and is reviewing it carefully. A Palace spokesperson, Claire Castro, says the matter will be studied and that an announcement on the outcome is expected soon. She also points to provisions under the Philippines–United States extradition treaty, which allow different ways to handle Quiboloy’s case.
Across the outlets, the key point is timing and process: all reports attribute the schedule to statements from the Palace and indicate that the President is the decision-maker. The coverage does not describe what specific choice is being considered, focusing instead on the expectation of an announcement in the coming weeks and the treaty-based options available to the government.
