Guess where I am, win one thousand pesos.
That’s the dare televangelist Apollo Quiboloy dropped on social media for those who want to know his whereabouts, as he continues to hide somewhere in the country.
He teased the reward in part to dispel rumors that he has fled the country amid multiple cases filed against him, and after claiming the government and American agents are out to kill him.
Quiboloy’s camp posted on Wednesday an audio statement that was shared by the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC), in which the religious leader gave his audience a tip through a rambling verse in Filipino.
“Ako’y nakakubli, hindi kalayuan dito. Kuta ko’y puro bato, laksa-laksang pula at itim na langgam, handing ipagtanggol ako sa. Mga manlulupig na mga tao. Kano man o kalahi ko. Upang aking maitayo ang prinsipyong diwa, karanalan, Kalayaan ng isang marangal na Pilipino na naisilang sa paanan ng matayog sa lahat ng bundok Apo, sulong bayan ko, ipaglaban karapatan sa manlulupig di ka. pasisiil ang mamatay ng dahi sa‘yo,” he said as reported on ABS-CBN News.
(I’m hiding not far from here. My stone fort is surrounded by red and black ants, ready to defend me. Conquerors, whether American or mycountrymen. So I can stand on my principles, my spirit, my honor, the freedom of a noble Filipino born on the foothills of the mighty Mount Apo. Forward, my country, fight for our rights against the conquerors, don’t be oppressed, I’m willing to die for you.)
Both the Senate and the House of Representatives have subpoenaed Quiboloy for hearings on his alleged human trafficking activities and abuses against children and women. The Senate Committee on Women will resume its hearing on the KOJC founder on March 5.
