President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. found nothing wrong with the P10 million being offered as reward for anybody who can provide information on the whereabouts of fugitive religious leader Apollo Quiboloy.
A number of private individuals pushed for the reward before the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) to facilitate the speedy capture of Quiboloy.
Quiboloy remains in hiding after arrest warrants were issued against him for sexual abuse and human trafficking.
“Bakit hindi? They want to help us bring a fugitive to justice. You know, he is a fugitive. He is hiding from the law,” President Marcos told reporters on the sidelines of the impounding process ceremony of the Upper Wawa Dam in Rizal on Wednesday.
Quiboloy’s camp questioned the government for accommodating the offer for reward. Asked to comment, the President said he doesn’t see anything wrong with it.
“Now, if there are private citizens who want to assist the government in that effort to bring him to justice, I do not see what is any … he can question their motives as much as they want. But mag-pakita siya,” Marcos said.
“I question his motives. Let me question his motives. Bakit lagi kaming kinukwestiyon? Sinusundan lang namin ang batas. Sundin din niya ang batas. Iyon lang,” he added. PND
