  • The Workers' and Peasants' Party (WPP) yesterday criticized the Commission on Elections for ruling in favor of Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) pastor Apollo Quiboloy, who is currently in detention on charges of alleged human trafficking and child sex abuse.

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) in the Philippines has faced criticism for allowing Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, who is currently wanted by the FBI and has a $2 million bounty on his head, to participate in the 2025 elections. Despite his fugitive status, Quiboloy's name appeared on the list of candidates for the senatorial race. Critics, including former Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon, argue that this decision undermines the integrity of the electoral process. Quiboloy, the founder of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, faces allegations of sex trafficking, rape, and human trafficking in the United States. The controversy has sparked discussions on the criteria for disqualification from public office, with many questioning the Comelec's decision-making process and its implications for the credibility of the upcoming elections.
