The Philippine Star|July 10, 2024

The Department of the Interior and Local Government announced the P10-million reward for information that would lead to Quiboloy’s arrest and P1 million each for his five co-accused.

Quiboloy is the subject of arrest warrants issued by the Davao City and Pasig City regional trial courts where he is facing charges of qualified trafficking and sexual abuse allegedly committed against a 17-yearold girl in 2011.

Lawyer Ferdinand Topacio noted that average rewards for child sexual abuse and human trafficking suspects is “only a little over a million pesos,” even for members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and declared terrorist organizations such as the Communist Party of the Phil ippines-New People’s Army.
