Filipino cult leader Apollo Quiboloy arrived at the Philippine Senate to face a probe today, October 23.

The controversial pastor, who styles himself the 'Son of God', left his cell at the national police headquarters in Quezon City, Metro Manila, on Wednesday morning to attend the hearing.

Footage shows him walking through the Senate halls to be investigated by the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality for alleged abuses committed by his church, the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

Quiboloy is wanted by the FBI in the United States for alleged sex trafficking of children, sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion, conspiracy, and bulk cash smuggling.

He also allegedly traffics members 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.
