HELP FROM POWERFUL FRIENDS
Collusion between Quiboloy and political figures should n’t come as a surprise. Without the assistance of powerful politicians, starting from his native Davao to the presidential palace, Quiboloy and KOJC would n’t have been able to achieve this notoriety.
He is, after all, a near ally, companion, and” religious assistant” of Rodrigo Duterte, who ruled Davao for nearly three decades as its president before assuming the presidency in 2016. Following the arrest of the pastor, the former president took over the goods of Quiboloy and the KOJC.
Duterte stated that he would reject donations from Quiboloy, including physical possessions and cars, but that he would accept them. Recently, a journalist said that Quiboloy may likewise gift ladies to Duterte and other authorities.
Their marriage reached its peak in 2016 when Quiboloy backed Duterte’s political campaign. Duterte’s get presumably fulfilled a 1998 desire of Quiboloy’s, which prophesied the president’s rise to the president.
However, this was not the priest’s first venture into national elections. In 2004, Quiboloy claimed that he heard” a message from over” saying that former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was chosen to lead the land. Arroyo took over as president Joseph Estrada after being ousted, winning a full six-year name.
Quiboloy gave his blessing for the 2010 votes to Gilberto Teodoro, Arroyo’s defence minister and the management prospect, as he was the Almighty Father’s “appointed” one. Teodoro placed a distant third in the same year that his niece Benigno Aquino III was elected.
