Rody named Quiboloy group property administrator

Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI), media arm of the KOJC, posted on X Duterte's designation as administrator of KOJC's estate.

Duterte accepted the designation, his former executive secretary Salvador Medialdea told The STAR.

SMNI is under indefinite suspension by the National Telecommunications Commission.

Duterte's program "Gikan sa Masa para sa Masa," along with another program, "Laban Kasama ng Bayan," was also suspended by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board following complaints that they had been airing profanity and death threats as well as broadcasting unverified data.

"Former president Rodrigo Duterte is appointed as new administrator for KOJC properties," SMNI posted on X.

Quiboloy is in hiding from prosecution and possible arrest by US authorities sex trafficking, rape, fraud, and cash smuggling for Duterte was named estate administrator after California Judge Terry Hatter Jr. ordered the unsealing of the arrest warrants against Quiboloy and his co-accused upon the request of the US Attorney General Criminal Division.

The sect leader and self-styled appointed "son of God" is facing sex trafficking, fraud, conspiracy, and bulk cash smuggling charges in the US.

Meanwhile, the Department of Justice said it has yet to receive a request from the US for the extradition of Quiboloy.

"There is no extradition request received yet by the DOJ from the DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs). It's difficult, however, to speak on hypothetical situations," DOJ spokesman Mico Clavano said in a text message to reporters.

"The government's goal is to attain justice in whatever form and through the best forum. The decision to resolve came as a result of almost a year of verifying the evidence on record as well as the identity of the alleged victim," Clavano said.
