Can Marcos handle Quiboloy?

A MASSIVE raid by some 2,000 policemen on the 30-hectare Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) compound in Davao, in search of the KOJC founder Pastor Apollo Quiboloy — who calls himself the 'Adopted Son of God' but is wanted on human trafficking and other charges — has produced the latest political crisis for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. If the police don't find him, how will Marcos deal with him?

The sprawling compound, according to reports, holds more than 40 buildings, including a cathedral and a huge underground bunker. No sign of the pastor has been sighted in it. Despite this, the raiding party says they are not leaving the place until they find him. They seem convinced the pastor is hiding inside, and they were reported to have begun drilling their way to what they believe is the bunker.
