President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has issued a direct challenge to Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, who is currently wanted by authorities, urging him to appear and address the charges against him. In an interview following an event in Rodriguez, Rizal,

President Marcos responded to statements from Quiboloy's camp regarding a bounty offered for information leading to his arrest. Private individuals had pledged P10 million for this purpose, a move supported by Marcos who emphasized the importance of bringing Quiboloy to justice.

"He can question their motives as much as they want but magpakita siya," President Marcos asserted, highlighting Quiboloy's status as a fugitive evading the law. The President defended the initiative of private citizens in offering the bounty, emphasizing that such assistance aligns with efforts to uphold the law. He also questioned Quiboloy's motives, challenging him to comply with legal proceedings.

Quiboloy and his co-accused face serious charges including child abuse, sexual abuse, and human trafficking. The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has announced a P10 million reward for information leading to Quiboloy's capture, with additional rewards for his co-accused. Former President Rodrigo Duterte previously claimed knowledge of Quiboloy's whereabouts but declined to disclose them.
