In a masterstroke of selective focus, Davao Region Police Chief Gen. Nicolas Torre has assured the Senate that his attention is solely on apprehending fugitive Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and four others, as named in a warrant of arrest.
Of course, it’s reassuring that Torre and his force wouldn’t dare waste their time on such trivialities as Dr. Lorraine Badoy, KOJC pastor Marlon Acobo, or vlogger Banat By—who just happen to be Quiboloy’s loudest defenders and, coincidentally, recipients of the good pastor’s “generosity.”
It’s comforting to know that while Quiboloy evades capture, his staunch supporters remain free to fan the flames of public confusion and misinformation. Why bother with those connected to the fugitive when you can chase after the man himself, right? Surely, the Filipino people wouldn’t be concerned about such figures, who by pure coincidence, happen to orbit closely around Quiboloy’s sphere of influence.
