“Our search for the remaining wanted persons in the case of Quiboloy and his associates is ongoing,” PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo said during a press briefing at Camp Crame yesterday.

Fajardo added that the recent arrest of Pauline Canada, a coaccused in the case, is a positive development that indicates the PNP is receiving the right information.

“Our hotline is very active and we are getting numerous tips, though we need to vet this information carefully. Some may be accurate, but others might be intended to mislead us,” Fajardo said. She urged the public to cooperate by providing any information, giving assurance that their identity and security would be protected.

“We are not limited to their (Quiboloy and co-accused) known addresses. We are also investigating other potential areas where they might be staying or visiting,” Fajardo said.

On Canada’s custody, Fajardo said the PNP is still waiting for a court order, noting that the warrant of arrest was already returned to the Pasig Regional Trial Court.
