"celebrity televangelist" sounds a lot like "cult leader"

[Denis]

Cult leader, not celebrity televangelist.

[Mseihcir]

Hoping this Quiboloy will be extradited to the United States for the crimes he also commited there where in fact he is one of US FBI's most wanted list

[zenn]

He once claimed he stopped an earthquake by just yelling stop and all his followers clapped. He's good at conning people as evident of the number of followers he has but I think that he love his status so much that he actually fooled himself

[michaelshive]

I'm a Filipino-American living in the Philippines and he didn't surrender willingly. He was forced to surrender by the police because he was given an ultimatum: give yourself up willingly or we enter forcibly.

Bestfriend of exPres. Rodrigo Duterte!

[ihavesauce]

America must make a move now to take that maniac from philipine custody coz he will be a vip in jail

[caritamundo]

His members regarded him as "god". Claiming to be "the way, the truth, and the life".
Such is idolatrous and blasphemous!

[pampasco]

Correction— he did not surrender. He was cornered by the Philippine National Police and given an ultimatum to come out from hiding.

As a Filipino citizen who lives in the US, I can’t wait for him to be extradited. If he gets “imprisoned” in the Phils he will still be treated like a king just like others. He has a lot of influential protectors that’s why he got away with it for a verrry long time. When the US filed cases against him that’s the only time the Phil. govt started taking action.

A "spiritual adviser" of Duterte, no wonder....

[dgpaliza]

Next the ICC should issue warrant of arrest for Duterte

[WatchingPH]

He did not surrender willingly; he was captured by the police, who had surrounded his compound for weeks. With nowhere to go, he had no choice but to come out after the police gave him an ultimatum: either come out, or they would launch an assault on the location where he was hiding.

JUSTICE and RULE of LAW must maintain its course.

[LarrySantos-xgko]

He is a cult leader, he is not surrender he was Caught.

[evelyntudtud]

A person respected, followed, believed by his members now under criminal interrogation accused of different illegal activities. How shameful is that? God is good all the time and he won't allow all of these evil doers overpower Him.

[happyimhealthy]

This resource person, Ms. Anna Santos is really knowledgeable about the subject of the news, and she was able to answer the questions correctly and briefly without missing important information. Well done!

[Acee]

he didn't surrender...he was arrested.

[GG-vehv]

Regardless he got arrested or surrendered, it doesn't change his case as a human trafficker and money launderer...!

Send Quiboloy to the United States justice in the Philippines accept bribes.
