In this Rappler Talk episode, Rappler desk editor and Mindanao bureau chief Herbie Gomez speaks with three former followers of Apollo Quiboloy about the difficulties they faced after their 2021 interview with Rappler and what they think lies ahead for the KOJC
MANILA, Philippines – Three former followers of doomsday preacher Apollo Quiboloy sat down with Rappler nearly three years after they first blew the whistle on the leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) and detailed the alleged abuses against workers of the Davao-based religious group.
Their 2021 interview led to a series of Rappler investigative reports that exposed the inner workings of the KOJC, resulting in more than a dozen libel complaints filed by Quiboloy’s followers in various areas of Mindanao. All complaints against Rappler and the three whistleblowers were later dismissed by prosecutors.
In this Rappler Talk episode, Rappler Mindanao bureau head Herbie Gomez speaks with US-based Arlene Stone, Faith Killion, and Singapore-based Reynita Fernandez about the challenges they faced after the initial interview in 2021, and about their long wait for the wheels of justice to move.
In this new exclusive interview, the three whistleblowers also discuss with Rappler what they think lies ahead for the KOJC and its members, as Quiboloy and five of his associates await trial in two separate regional courts in Metro Manila.
