Filipino cult leader Apollo Quiboloy appeared before the Philippine Senate today to be probed for his alleged crimes.

Footage shows the controversial pastor with eyebrows furrowed as he spoke with his legal counsel inside the Senate plenary room in Metro Manila, the Philippines, on October 23.

Quiboloy, who styles himself the 'Son of God', is wanted by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation for alleged sex trafficking of children, sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion, conspiracy, and bulk cash smuggling.

He also allegedly traffics members of his church, the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, around the world, with an inner circle of women who perform what they call 'nighttime duties', taking it in turns to sleep with him.

He grew his following through radio, televangelism, and social media.

Quiboloy has ties with the powerful Duterte family ruling local politics in Davao City. He served as spiritual adviser to the vitriolic former President Rodrigo Duterte and allegedly enjoyed the politician's protections until he stepped down in 2022.
