The Davao City Police’s supposed cluelessness about Pastor Apollo Quiboloy’s whereabouts amid Senate contempt and U.S. criminal charges is a comedic tragedy emblematic of the Philippines’ socio-political landscape. 

While Quiboloy claims divine connections, the police’s bafflement exposes a farcical reality: the powerful evade justice with impunity. The irony is stark: a self-proclaimed “son of God” remains elusive while the average citizen faces the full force of the law. 

This spectacle underscores the skewed priorities of law enforcement, highlighting a system where protection is reserved for the influential. 

The Philippine National Police’s ineptitude mirrors a larger institutional malaise, where loyalty to power eclipses the pursuit of justice. Filipinos are left to ponder whether their protectors are mere elephants in the room, with selective sight and memory. 

In this theater of the absurd, the line between law enforcement and protection racket blurs, leaving citizens to question who truly serves and protects them.
